Auraria campus expansion: See plans for new athletic fields and more


The latest update to the Auraria master plan contains plenty of other helpful maps and thoughtful discussion of the options the campus is weighing in the immediate future. But we're also fond of this conceptual proposal done by Karen Kalavity of Integra Design, urging more green space, street closures, and a heavier reliance on transit and bike paths. No AHEC officials appear to be championing it, but it's pleasant to contemplate:

I'm a former alum and I love the plans. There are some great schools on this campus and they should have all the perks that other schools in the state have!

Great, esp. the athletic fields! Those kids need the full college experience.

I don't like them because they keep taking away parking lots to build more buildings.
