Exciting News: DU’s Next Chapter with The Cable Center
Dear colleagues,
We are excited to share some important news about the future of our campus. The University of Denver has entered into a tentative agreement to purchase The CableCenter facility. Opened in 2001, The Cable Center facility is located on Buchtel Boulevard at the north end of DU’s main campus. While not owned by DU previously, The Cable Center and DU have had a longstanding relationship with frequent collaborations and events over the past 25 years. This strategic step reflects our commitment to advancing DU’s academic mission and enhancing the experience for our faculty, staff, future students, and community.
Our vision for this space is multifaceted:
- Welcome Center: The facility will provide an additional “front door” to our campus, welcoming visitors, prospective students, and more. We plan to create a welcoming environment for prospective students and their families, strengthen enrollment efforts, and showcase DU’s vibrant community.
- Academic Use: This facility will help us build on our preeminent student experience through our academic enterprise, creating opportunities for rethinking how space is utilized across campus.
- Event and Rental Opportunities: The building will also serve as a venue for University functions and provide rental revenue, allowing it to remain an asset for both DU and the broader community.
As we continue the due diligence period to work through the details and logistics, we will keep you informed as the sale becomes final. This agreement marks another exciting milestone in DU Forward and the next chapter for the University. We look forward to what we can accomplish together in this next phase for our campus community.
Thank you for your continued dedication to DU’s mission. Together, we are shaping a future that reflects our values and ambitions.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Haefner
