Project News

Colorado Doorways Featured Project, April 2007 - Tivoli Student Union, Auraria Higher Education

Tivoli Student UnionThe Auraria Campus in downtown Denver is home to three different higher education institutions - the Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State College of Denver and the University of Colorado at Denver. The Tivoli Student Union is an important part of the cultural and social activities for the student body.

Built in 1877 by Colorado Brewing, the building was an active brewery until 1969. It remained largely vacant until 1991 when it was purchased for the student union. Over its history, it has received many additions creating a beautiful but very complex structure.

A complete revitalization of the facility was required to get the 130 year old building into satisfactory shape. Colorado Doorways assisted in this effort by providing the doors, frames, architectural hardware and access control system to aid in this effort. In the end, the $20 million renovation provided the student body with an up-to-date facility while maintaining and preserving the historical significance.

Colorado Doorways was very proud to have been part of this this extraordinary project.
