Auraria Campus - three separate higher-education institutions on one urban campus

The Auraria Campus in downtown Denver is home to three distinct institutions: Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and the University of Colorado Denver. The shared campus model places all three institutions on contiguous land with shared facilities and services administered through the Auraria Higher Education Center. This arrangement of multiple public higher-education institutions co-located on a single urban campus is a defining feature of Auraria.
