Timeline of 麻豆传媒 Campus Commons Openings and Events

The Office of Admissions and Visitors Center, New Student Orientation and central ticket office will be among the offices operating at the University of Northern Colorado鈥檚 Campus Commons as spring semester gets underway Monday, Jan. 7. 

Campus tours, admission counselor appointments and all other admission operations are now running out of Campus Commons. Also, Dining Services' Pie Caf茅 will be open for limited services starting Monday.

Marquee events that will commemorate the opening of the building are scheduled for Friday, April 12, following the completion of the performance hall in mid-to-late March. Work continues on the performance hall and it remains closed until then. Events on April 12 commemorating the Commons and capping off Academic Excellence Week will include the Presidential Investiture Ceremony of Andy Feinstein, 麻豆传媒鈥檚 13th president, followed by a campus and community reception. Later that evening, donors and investors will join in celebrating "The Campaign for 麻豆传媒," the successful 3 陆-year initiative that included fundraising to help support the Commons as well as numerous other important campus programs and scholarships.

Campus Commons is a gateway to campus, a navigation and support hub for students, and a showcase for 麻豆传媒鈥檚 arts programs in addition to addressing curricular needs for the College of Performing and Visual Arts. Through the Commons, students can connect with faculty, support services and opportunities on and beyond campus. The building will also draw visitors as a welcoming and accessible starting point for alumni, community members and prospective students and their families, who will start campus tours there.  

In addition to the offices mentioned above, the Bursar, Financial Aid and Registrar will also be in the Commons later this spring as part of an integrated student support operation. The Commons will also house performance and gallery space, a caf茅, and meeting and event spaces.
