Preconstruction Underway for New UNC Campus Commons

DENVER, Colo. — Adolfson & Peterson Construction was selected by University of Northern Colorado for the new Campus Commons building. AP will work closely with the University and the design firms of Semple Brown and Handprint Architecture.

The Campus Commons will be an innovative navigation and support hub for students, a showcase for UNC’s world-class music and musical theater programs and a gateway to UNC. The new LEED Gold 114,000-gross-square-foot building will tie into the University Center but have the appearance of standing alone.

In addition to space for a fully integrated student support operation, it will include a 600-seat performance venue, 400-seat multiuse auditorium, art gallery and student-run cafe.

The $73.6-million building is being funded through a combination of state capital funds, bonds supported by a student capital fee and private donor gifts.
