Description
The largest university in the state, with
nearly 29,000 students (including about 4,600 graduate students),
"CU" dominates the city. Its student population, cultural and
sports events, and intellectual atmosphere have helped shape
Boulder into the city it is today. The school boasts 16 alumni
astronauts who have flown in space and three Nobel laureates on the
faculty.
Old Main, on the Norlin Quadrangle,
was the first building erected after the university was established
in 1876; at that time, it housed the entire school. Later,
pink-sandstone Italian Renaissance-style buildings came to dominate
the campus. Visitors may want to take in the university's
Heritage Center, on the third floor of Old Main; the
University of Colorado Museum, a natural-history museum in
the Henderson Building on Broadway; the Mary Rippon Outdoor
Theatre, behind the Henderson Building, site of the annual
Colorado Shakespeare Festival; Fiske Planetarium, between
Kittredge Loop Drive and Regent Drive on the south side of campus;
and the Norlin Library, on the Norlin Quadrangle, the
largest research library in the state, with extensive holdings of
American and English literature. Other attractions include the CU
Art Museum, University Memorial Center (the student center), and
the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory in the College of
Engineering. Prospective students and their parents can arrange
campus tours by contacting the admissions office (tel.
303/492-6301).The Sommers-Bausch Observatory (tel.
303/492-6732 during the day, 303/492-2020 at night) offers
tours and Friday-evening open houses. Among the telescopes there
are 16-, 18-, and 24-inch Cassegrain reflectors and a 10-inch
aperture heliostat.
