Named in honor of former University of Colorado President Bruce
Benson, the new boutique hotel is being developed by Aimco, and is
part of a collective vision for the future of the campus.
The event was hosted on the recently completed Central Green, an
urban park and event space located at the heart of the CU Anschutz
Medical Campus. Built for the entire community, the space opened
this summer and will host events and activities such as outdoor
movies, seasonal celebrations, and live music.
“What Aimco is bringing to this campus is a sense of community
and a sense of place, with the higher density we want in Aurora,”
said Mayor Mike Coffman. “Thousands can now live, work and play
here, and the City of Aurora thanks Aimco for its commitment to
this campus and to our community.”
“This is a very deserving honor for Bruce Benson,” said CU
President Todd Saliman. “President Benson was a tremendous leader
for the University of Colorado and a dedicated advocate for the
people and state of Colorado. He was fond of saying there was no
limit to what someone could do or how far they could go if they
didn’t mind who gets the credit. That selfless style allowed him to
achieve so much for so many, and I’m glad to see him being
recognized today.”
Slated for completion in 2023, the Benson Hotel and Faculty Club
will include a ballroom and event space, a rose garden with outdoor
seating and a lawn for tented events, a full service bar and
restaurant, and multiple meeting rooms. The Faculty Club within the
hotel will be a private offering for the medical, educational, and
research staff at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus with amenities
such as a central bar, conversational spaces, and an indoor/outdoor
terrace.
"This new hotel is yet another example of how our campus
continues to grow as a top medical destination and health sciences
community in the region and beyond,” said CU Anschutz Chancellor
Donald M. Elliman, Jr. “Fitzsimons Innovation Community and Aimco
have been essential partners in this growth, and we’re excited to
have the Benson Hotel and Faculty Club next to our campus."
“We are thrilled to be contributing to the growth of the
Fitzsimons Innovation Community” said Wes Powell, President and CEO
of Aimco. “We share a collective mission and vision for this
important campus and are excited about the many possibilities that
lie ahead.”
