Self-Guided Campus Tour
You can begin the self-guided campus tour at the University Memorial Center (UMC) (#96; G-5 on the map) or at any point along the
path. Each letter represents a spot on the map to stop and look
around during your tour. You are welcome to go in and look around
any of the campus buildings during office hours.
A Inside the UMC (#96; G-5), you’ll find a reception desk on the sec-
ond floor that provides campus information. The UMC also houses a
food court, the CU Book Store, the Glenn Miller Ballroom, the CU Student
Government (CUSG), a games area, and numerous student organization
offices. Outside, to the north, are the Dalton Trumbo Fountain Court and
the Cristol Chemistry and Biochemistry building (#18; G-5), which includes lecture halls, offices, and laboratories for physical and organic
chemistry and biochemistry.
B Exit the south doors on the second floor of the UMC and you will
arrive on Euclid Avenue. Follow the sidewalk east (away from the
mountains) and the street will bend at Imig Music (#43; H-7). Home
to the College of Music, Imig contains studios, classrooms, four auditoriums, the music library, and rehearsal facilities. The library contains
more than 100,000 books, scores, sound recordings, and periodicals.
To your left as you face Imig, you will see Environmental Design
(#28; G-7), home to the College of Architecture and Planning. The
Program for Writing and Rhetoric is in the basement.
C Walking around the south side of Imig you will pass the Warden-
burg Health Center (#99; H-7). Current CU-Boulder students can use
this comprehensive facility and can purchase yearly insurance plans.
There are four main clinics including Medical, Sports Medicine, Psychological Health, and Women’s Health.
D Along three sides of Farrand Field are some of the residence halls
on the main campus. Included in this grouping are Baker Hall (#107;
G-7), Libby Hall (#122; G -8), Farrand Hall (#118; H-9), Cheyenne
Arapaho Hall (#111; H- 7), and the Engineering Quadrangle (#102,
109, 112, 114; G-9). CU-Boulder has 21 residence halls, including Kittredge Complex to the southeast (#103, 104, 110, 120, 121, 128; J-11)
and Williams Village (#115, 116, 129, 131; K-6) on the corner of Baseline Road and 30th St. (accessible via a frequent campus bus service).
All of the residence halls include social lounges and access to dining
facilities and computer labs. The Bear Creek Apartment complex
(#108; L-6) is just southeast of Williams Village.
Also, as you continue walking east on the perimeter of Farrand
Field, you will find many of the administrative buildings of the campus. Offices for admission, financial aid, the registrar, the bursar, and
the Graduate School are in Regent Administrative Center (#77; I-8).
E Your next stop is the Center for Community (C4C) (#10; I-9).
This is home base for 12 student support offices, including Career
Services, the Center for Multicultural Affairs, Counseling and Psychological Services, the Office of Victim Assistance, and Disability Services. The center includes a 900-seat street-market-style dining hall
with nine specialty dining stations. An underground parking garage is
available for use with a parking permit, but will open for event parking
after 5 p.m. and on weekends.
F As you exit C4C via the east doors and follow the sidewalk north,
you pass the Koelbel building (#7; H-10), which houses the Leeds
School of Business. The facility includes computer terminals, the
William M. White Business Library, the Douglas H. Buck Electronic
Media Center, organizational laboratories, and the Business Research
Division. Just north of the business school are the towers of the
Engineering Center (#27; F/G-10/11), which houses the College of
Engineering and Applied Science. This college has instructional and
laboratory facilities to support its degree programs and research
centers, including the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory
(#54; G-11), and an addition on the northeast side of the building,
which houses the Discovery Learning Center (#21; F-11).
G Walking northwest toward the football stadium, you will pass
Benson Earth Sciences (#5; F-9), which houses the Department of
Geological Sciences and the Earth Sciences Library. Before crossing
Colorado Avenue, you will also pass Duane Physics and Astrophysics,
(#22; F-7), which houses both the astrophysical and planetary sciences
and physics departments, as well as classrooms, undergraduate teaching facilities, and research labs. The southwest end of the building includes JILA (#56; G-7), and on the north side, Gamow Tower (#34;
F-7) In coordination with the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space
Physics (LASP) (#59; F-7), the Department of Astrophysical and
Planetary Sciences has designed and placed dozens of experiments
on NASA spacecraft.
H Cross Colorado Avenue and the nationally ranked psychology de-
partment, inside Muenzinger Psychology (#66; E-7), is to the west. To
the east, Folsom Stadium (#33; E-8) seats approximately 53,750 fans
in bleachers, club seats, and stadium suites. It is home to the athletic
department, ticket office, and renowned Colorado Buffaloes football
team. All four branches of the ROTC, as well as classrooms and athletic offices, are located in the Stadium (#87; E-8).
Within Porter Biosciences (#74; E-7) and the MCDB expansion
(#64; E-7) is the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, which the National Research Council ranks as one of the
premier programs in America. A three-story high-voltage scanning
electron microscope (one of only five of its kind in the world) and two
state-of-the-art electron microscopes providing three-dimensional
images of cells are housed in this building.
I Funded largely by student fees, the Student Recreation Center
(#89; D-6/7) includes a 25-yard swimming pool with a diving well; an
ice arena; handball/racquetball, squash, and tennis courts; a fitness
systems room with Cybex equipment; an indoor running track; a
climbing wall; a weight-training room; and a multipurpose gymnasium.
Just to the west of the Student Recreation Center is Sewall Hall (#126;
D-5), named after the first university president, Joseph Sewall. It is the
oldest residence hall on campus and home to the Sewall Residential
Academic Program.
East of the recreation center, filling the north end of Folsom Field, is
Dal Ward Athletic Center (#19; D-8). This building provides support
services to intercollegiate athletics, including weight rooms and training facilities.
J Follow west on the sidewalk outside of the recreation center, and you
will see the Eaton Humanities building (#23; E-5), completed in 1999,
which houses the classics, East Asian languages and civilizations, French
and Italian, humanities, and religious studies undergraduate and graduate departments, as well as the comparative literature and humanities
graduate department. Nineteen classrooms with cutting-edge instructional technology are also located in this building.
Woodbury Arts and Sciences (#100; E-5), first built as a men’s
dormitory in 1890, was considered the most fashionable dormitory of
its day, as it had indoor plumbing and steam heat. It was converted to
classrooms in the 1920s. Today, it is home to the academic advising
and open option advising centers.
Macky Auditorium (#62; D-4), built in 1912 and recently renovated, is one of Colorado’s premier concert halls. The 2,047-seat theatre
features classical and popular musical concerts, dance performances,
lectures, and films. The Armory (#2; D-4) is home to the School of
Journalism and Mass Communication and is located on the north
side of University Avenue.
K Old Main (#71; E-4) was the first building on campus. In the 1880’s
it served as both classroom and residence hall to students, faculty, and
the university president. Today, the College of Arts and Sciences’ dean’s
office and the University of Colorado Heritage Center are in Old Main.
The Heritage Center is a museum with seven galleries documenting
the history of the university. It is open Monday through Friday, 10:00
a.m.–5:00 p.m., and Saturdays, 12:30–1:30 p.m. (September through
the week of May commencement). Summer hours are 10:00
a.m.–4:30 p.m.
The grassy area directly south of Old Main is known as the Norlin
Quadrangle Historic District. Placed on the National Register of Historic Sites in 1980, it was the original University of Colorado campus.
You can see many important CU-Boulder buildings around its perimeter, such as the University Theatre (#97; F-4), which houses the theatre and dance department, as well as theatres and dance studios.
Looking to the northwest, you will see Hale Science (#38; E-3), home
to the anthropology department. This building opened in 1894 as the
second academic building on campus. Originally built with wooden
pegs, it featured experiments using electricity.
L Norlin Library (#69; E-6), named after George Norlin, the university’s
most famous president, is on the east side of the quadrangle. Norlin and
its five branch libraries (business, earth sciences, engineering, mathphysics, and music) contain more than 11 million volumes and items in
other formats. Norlin houses the general humanities and social sciences
collections, as well as the art and architecture library, the East Asian library, government publications, the archives, the media library, the periodicals room, the science library, and special collections. Norlin also
contains many study areas and a large computer lab. The Presidents
Leadership Class (PLC), College of Arts and Sciences Honors Program,
Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), and Undergraduate Academy offices are also here. A $5.2 million renovation was
completed in fall 2009, and includes a learning commons, a research
center, team technology rooms, and a coffee shop.
M Just south of the east entrance to the library, you will find The
Alliance for Technology, Learning, and Society (ATLAS) building
(#3; G-6). ATLAS opened its doors in fall 2006. The building supports
cross-disciplinary interactions and features many venues with advanced technology for creative and intellectual expression. Special
building features include a 150-seat auditorium, a 2,700 square-foot
black box studio, a 1,000 square-foot production studio for performance and production uses, and the exhibition lobby for events that
utilize the building’s video wall. The film studies department is also
located here.
N To find our last stop on the tour, follow the breezeway on the west
side of ATLAS. The Visual Arts Complex (#98; G-6), which opened in
2010, houses a state-of-the-art Department of Art and Art History—
as well as spacious new gallery spaces—in an environmentally friendly
facility.
