Ruffatto Hall -
The new Katherine A. Ruffatto Hall will house the Morgridge College of Education (MCE), the Learning Effectiveness Program (LEP) and the Disability Services Program (DSP) at the University of Denver. Sited prominently at the corner of East Evans and High Streets, the building will serve as a campus gateway. The building is organized around an interior public "Commons", which will provide a gathering space for MCE functions, as well as support for other functions of the University. With large windows opening to Evans on the south, and to a new courtyard on the north, the commons invites visitors to explor the activity within. The building is designed to achieve upwards of a gold LEED NC rating.

Nagel Hall to accommodate upper classmen in effort to provide mentoring opportunities to first-year and sophomore students
DENVER — The University of Denver will break ground on its newest residence hall, Nagel Hall, at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow. The 150,000-square-foot, five-story building will be a state-of-the art environmentally-friendly building with 369 beds, a food-court-style dining area, space for classes and events, a game room and an outdoor dining plaza. Nagel Hall will also house academic research space, offices and classrooms for the Department of Psychology. In order to accommodate upperclassmen who want to live on campus, the residence hall will have 212 beds for sophomores, 138 apartments for juniors and seniors and 19 beds for residential assistants and staff.
To lessen the structure’s environmental impact, architects have also incorporated an energy efficient heating-and-cooling system, operable windows, a copper roof, low water-use faucets, dual-flush toilets, and local and recycled materials.
DU Trustee Ralph Nagel and his wife, Trish, contributed $4 million to spearhead
the project, which will cost a total of $39,775,000.
