Our campus sits on the site of Denver’s earliest neighborhood, Auraria. Often
recalled are stories of Auraria in the days of it’s early inhabitation, the inception of
what we know today as the Auraria Higher Education Campus and the city of Denver.

competition was launched for the design of a memorial, to honor survivors of the
Holocaust and Nazi persecution, the United Kingdom Holocaust Museum (UKHM).
Some of the participating architecture teams had the following to say on the approach
they would be taking to “honoring and remembrance”.
