We’re breaking new ground on student success and we need you to continue building
the momentum.
Led by the spirit of UNC’s Pride of the Rockies Marching Band, more than 300 members
of the university community turned out to turn dirt during the October 22 ceremonial
groundbreaking for the new Campus Commons – including a surprise visit by Colorado
Governor John Hickenlooper. The day was truly monumental!
“Monumental is a great word for what we celebrate today, we are, after all, breaking
ground on UNC’s signature new building, the Campus Commons,” shared President Kay
Norton.
President Norton, along with campus and student leadership, marked the occasion
by expressing gratitude for the legislative and community investments which will
ensure the Commons is built by December 2018.
“I want to say thank you for investing in the future of education at UNC,“ said
President Norton. "The Campus Commons will be the intersection of many interests,
all of which vital to the university. It will create meaningful connections. It will
be an integrated student support hub; a gateway for campus visitors; and a modern
space for our world-class arts programs.”
