Between May 28, 2013 and June 7, 2013 (dates are approximate and subject to change based on weather and permitting issues), the existing medians in Larimer Street at Speer Boulevard will be removed and a temporary bus turn around will be built east of 12th Street to accommodate RTD bus traffic. The sidewalk along Larimer Street will be closed at various times, but signage will be in place to detour pedestrians. During construction, RTD buses will be allowed to use the existing turn around and the existing bus stop will remain open. Flaggers will be in place to direct traffic. RTD Bus Stop Impact Only emergency and service vehicles (including trash/recycling) will be allowed beyond the temporary bus turn around during construction. Larimer will be restricted to one‐lane and will be controlled by flaggers. Regular vehicular traffic will not be allowed in this area. RTD Access‐a‐Ride Stop 3 (serving North Classroom and PE/Events Center) will also be relocated to the temporary turnaround during construction. Signage will be in place to direct users to the stop. Construction of various utilities within Larimer Street will begin on approximately June 10, 2013 and is expected to be completed by late summer 2013, but dates are approximate and subject to change.

The Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) along with Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver and the University of Colorado Denver partnered on a new signage plan for the campus in 2011. New monument signage is the first element of the overall campus signage plan that is being implemented thanks to the generous support of the Auraria Foundation. AHEC is excited to announce that the new monument signage will be installed in the coming weeks as the signs are finished. The new signs will be placed at the following four corners of the campus. The institutional names will be listed in a different order on each sign based on the street frontage relative to the institution’s neighborhood location:
The signage was designed by ArtHouse Design, based in Denver and the designers for the 14th Street signs in downtown. The monument signs were fabricated by DaVinci Sign System, Inc. based in Windsor. The signs are approximately 22 feet tall and will be lit by LED fixtures. These new signs help further identify the campus and its institutions and strike a more urban and sophisticated tone than the campus’ previous signage. For questions please contact either Jill Jennings Golich, Campus Planner (303-556-3236, jill.jenningsgolich@ahec.edu) or Mike Turman Director, of Project Management (303-556-2394, mike.turman@ahec.edu).Posted: 4.30.13 |

In light of the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court regarding the University of Colorado’s weapons policy, the Board of Directors of the Auraria Higher Education Center will be reviewing its current weapons policies. Pending that review, the Auraria Board’s weapons policies will be interpreted and enforced in conformance with the Court’s decision.
