Auraria Campus

The Auraria Campus is the main campus of Metro State and is located to the southwest of downtown Denver in the Auraria Neighborhood, on Speer Boulevard and Auraria Parkway. Metro State shares the campus with two higher education institutions, the University of Colorado Denver and Community College of Denver.

The campus is located in the heart of the central business district and is in close proximity to the Pepsi Center, Elitch Gardens, The Colorado Convention Center, The Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Larimer Square, and the 16th Street Mall.
