This book presents the site master plan for the Auraria Higher Education Center, which is dedicated to the offering of an urban-oriented program in higher education and is made up of three institutions -- the Denver Center of the University of Colorado, Metropolitan State College, and the Community College of Denver located on a single site in the heart of the Denver metropolitan area. The site master planning is seen as being the key element leading to the development of a total facility that will provide an effective functional and an inspiring visual environment for the Auraria Higher Education Center. This report presents detailed text and illustrations in connection with the longrange site master plan. Information is included relative to building zones; health, physical education, and recreation/environmental zones; and parking zones. Plans also show street networks, mass transit, pedestrian circulation, energy distribution, expansion potential, and preliminary cost estimates and time schedules. A related document is EA 004 883.
