5 things to know about the Limelight Hotel Megan Maneval Fri, 10/17/2025 - 09:59

Limelight Boulder has officially opened, and its arrival reflects a years-long partnership between the city of Boulder and ̽��Ƶ to bring a conference center of this size to the community. The first of its kind in Boulder County, the facility will offer a new space to host events large and small, as well as a venue for showcasing the innovation and leadership occurring in the community and on campus.

From the delicious food at Ajax Tavern to the tailgate celebrations before Buffs home football games, the hotel is one you have to check out for yourself—and enjoy! Here are five things to know about Boulder’s newest hotel.

The country's largest all-electric hotel

As the largest all-electric hotel in the U.S. with LEED Gold certification, the property features modern spaces, advanced AV technology, locally inspired food and beverage, and a sustainable design that performs at a high level while reflecting its surroundings.

Expansive event space

With 26,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, Limelight Boulder can host gatherings ranging from small strategy sessions to programs for up to 1,200 guests. Its location on campus and near downtown provides mountain views and convenient access, supported by modern design and excellent service.

Prime connection

Located on the ̽��Ƶ campus, Limelight Boulder is steps from the Hill and within easy reach of downtown and Folsom Field. With beautiful common areas such as the upper deck, courtyard, lobby bar and living area, the property offers a place for guests and the community to connect.

The courtyard comes alive before every CU home football game with a brass band and tailgate treats. Later this fall, Limelight Live will debut as a core part of Limelight Boulder’s programming, bringing live music to the hotel for guests and the community to enjoy on a weekly basis.

Thoughtful design

Limelight Boulder’s design draws inspiration from the natural environment while creating a dynamic and engaging atmosphere. Sustainability guided every detail, from native landscaping to expansive windows that highlight mountain views, resulting in a property that feels closely connected to Boulder and energizing for guests seeking inspiration and momentum.

CU Book Store

The CU Book Store has opened a new location at Limelight Boulder. This exciting addition also marks a milestone for the CU Book Store—for the first time ever, they have expanded to a second location!

This vibrant retail space will feature a curated selection of CU-branded apparel and gifts, along with unique Boulder- and Colorado-themed merchandise. It’s more than just a store—it’s a celebration of Buffs pride in a high-traffic, high-energy setting.

Boasting a second location for the CU Book Store, a gold standard in sustainable design and more, the Limelight Hotel is the newest addition on campus. Learn more.

̽��Ƶ announces plans for 150th anniversary in 2026 Megan Maneval Fri, 10/03/2025 - 08:02

Preparations are underway for ̽��Ƶ's 150th anniversary celebration in 2026, a milestone that will honor ̽��Ƶ's legacy, engage the Boulder campus and broader communities and help set the stage as ̽��Ƶ looks toward the future.

A dedicated 150th steering committee has been working behind the scenes since 2024 to shape a yearlong celebration that will complement the state of Colorado's 150th anniversary celebrations and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence.

"150 years ago, ̽��Ƶ's founders dreamed of a university that would transform lives and strengthen society," said Chancellor Justin Schwartz. "If they could see the university today, I think they would be awestruck by the influence and impact this campus holds for students, staff and faculty, alumni and all of Colorado. It is an honor to celebrate our beginnings and our history and write the next great chapter in the ̽��Ƶ story together."

This webpage will serve as a central hub for students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, families and community members to learn more about ̽��Ƶ's 150th plans—including events, storytelling initiatives, service projects and opportunities to participate in both campus and statewide celebrations.

What to expect

A calendar of events and engagement opportunities beginning in early 2026.
A yearlong series of storytelling initiatives and historical exhibits that:
- Celebrate ̽��Ƶ's legacy across eras.
- Center missing histories and voices and narratives that need to be corrected or differently told.
- Connect ̽��Ƶ to the histories of Boulder, Colorado, the United States and the world.
- Inspire participation in ̽��Ƶ's vision for the future.
Cross-promotion and collaborations with the state of Colorado's 250/150 commission.
Opportunities to share your own ̽��Ƶ story.

How to get involved

Visit the new 150th anniversary webpage to explore what's ahead and to sign up for an October information session to learn how you or your unit can participate.

Stay tuned for more updates as ̽��Ƶ builds momentum toward an exciting celebration that reflects on its past, celebrates its present and envisions its next 150 years.

̽��Ƶ has announced plans for its 150th anniversary celebration in 2026 and unveiled a 150th anniversary webpage. Learn more.
