Auraria Campus is renamed after 50 years … wait I have always called it that. I kind of feel dumb now. Don’t tell anyone I am a native!

The Auraria Higher Education Center is now Auraria Campus. Auraria Campus said the change represents its first change in branding in 50 years. The school said it also has a new website at aurariacampus.edu. These three colleges that call Auraria Campus home: Community College of Denver, MSU Denver, and CU Denver.

Flags and banners are hanging in Larimer Square and on the Larimer Street Bridge to celebrate the launch that started Monday.

Auraria Campus said it has also unveiled two new murals — “Woven on the Wind” and “Unidos” — along the Auraria stretch of the 5280 Trail.
