校园 Heartbeat

Opened in January 2021, DU’s new Community Commons reimagines the way our community interacts by reimagining the way space is used on campus. This transformative new 132,000 square-foot addition to campus collects 15 of DU’s student-focused services 和 offices under one roof, 和 includes flexible spaces for classes, programming, studying 和 collaboration. The building also includes an all-new, central campus dining hall—The Rebecca Chopp Gr和 Central Market—uniting our community through meals 和 conversation. 

Visitors enjoy countless options to relax, recharge 和 engage with their peers. Community Commons provides access to 4 floors of state-of-the-art, flexible spaces intended to invigorate the student experience—not to mention 360-degree views of Downtown 丹佛 和 Colorado’s Front Range, via rooftop patios 和 gathering spaces.
