About the Project
Event Center Exterior Rendering by HDR
MSU Denver is transforming the former natatorium within the Auraria Event Center into a flexible, multi-purpose venue designed to better support student activities and community events.
The project will infill the existing pool to create a large event and recreation space that can accommodate a variety of configurations, including banquets, lectures, performances and court activities. The renovation also repurposes underutilized racquetball and squash
courts to create a gaming lounge, golf simulator, Healthy Pursuits room and additional storage. Building improvements include a new exterior curtain wall and enhanced entry experience, new mechanical systems, updated technology and AV infrastructure, accessibility and life-safety improvements and new furniture and equipment to support the variety of activities planned for the space.
When complete, the project will give MSU Denver a more flexible and functional campus venue capable of transitioning between recreation, student programming and large-scale events, while making better use of existing space within the Event Center.
