Welcome to Durango, Colorado

We are Colorado’s crossroads of education and adventure. Our beautiful mountain campus in Durango, Colorado, inspires an active and friendly community, and offers transformative learning experiences that foster entrepreneurship, leadership, and creativity.

Where snow capped peaks meet the desert Southwest, Durango, Colorado pulses with natural, historical, and cultural riches. From art galleries to restaurants, 300 days of sunshine to 300 miles of trail, you’ll adjust to the elevation in no time. The only question left to ponder is how will you adventure?

Culture and History

With 1000-year-old Ancestral Puebloan structures tucked into canyon alcoves, 500-year-old Spanish colonial missions, and 150-year-old mining equipment dotting the landscape of the Four Corners region, Durango is in the seat of some of the nation’s most prized archaeological and historical treasures. This is evidenced in the many national parks and national monuments honoring the people who have shaped the Southwest.

Arts, Food and Nightlife

It doesn’t stop with historical artifacts; the human spirit thrives today in Durango. Downtown is full of art galleries, restaurants, coffee shops, and local businesses and community organizations. By day, the city offers cozy delights, like a bustling farmers’ market in the fall, while by night, it buzzes with music and the glow of restaurant windows.

Outdoor Recreation

Mountain bikers enjoy hundreds of miles of trails through desert sagebrush, Ponderosa forest, and alpine tundra, while scenic mountain roads combine beauty and challenge for those who prefer to ride asphalt.

There are even more places to explore by foot, from Colorado’s largest roadless area, the Weminuche Wilderness, to the otherworldly landscape of southeastern Utah’s national parks, where hiking and backpacking is available year-round.

Skiers and snowboarders have their pick of mountains in the area, with some of the most coveted resorts in Colorado only a few hours away, including Telluride, Purgatory, Silverton and Wolf Creek, and endless backcountry options for those seeking to skip the lifts.

Rock climbing in Moab, ice climbing in Ouray, running on the Colorado Trail…  whatever your pleasure, world class adventures await.

Grand Junction, CO – Old Mesa County Courthouse Annex

Venue Phone: (970) 244-1800

“When Franklin High School was razed at 6th and Rood, the site was used for the new Mesa County Courthouse. Construction began in 1922 on the limestone, neoclassical structure and it was built to high standards. Hallways had marble wainscoting and terrazzo floors, court rooms were outfitted in golden oak. The front doors of brass had ornate grilles. It was dedicated in 1924.”

“The Main Street courthouse was very overcrowded by World War I, so Mesa County announced a design contest for a new courthouse. Many architectural designs, arguments and cost-debates later, this neo-classical design by Eugene Groves was accepted. The modern brick and glass annex was added to the back of building in 1974. Although the original, elegant exterior remains intact, the inside has been remodeled numerous times. Extensive rebuilding, beginning in the late 1990s, returned most of the interior back to the original design. The former second floor courtroom is now home to the Mesa County Commissioners.”

While no longer a courthouse, this building still houses Mesa County and Grand Junction administrative offices.

Parking

    • There are parking places, with meters, on the streets around the facility.
