Renovation of an educational facility in Grand Junction, Colorado. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

Reference Number 0000416711 CMU seeks to add additional capacity to its residential on-campus offerings and endeavors to have these additional beds delivered for the fall semester of 2027 to accommodate year over year student enrollment growth. CMU is considering two sites on campus for this development (see descriptions and graphics below). CMU must consider immediate repercussions of each site to determine what is in the best interest of the university to develop for this next phase of housing. Enrollment growth for first-time, first-year students has shown steady increases over the past decade, in line with the 1% annual growth projection described in the 2023 update to CMU's Campus Master plan. However, growth for first-time, first-year students increased to 28% in fall 2024, up from 1,830 students in 2023 to 2,348 students in 2024. Said increase in enrollment has required construction of an additional 310 bed residence hall scheduled to be open for students in fall 2026. Bringing an additional 310 beds on-line which will fill the need for the influx of new students in 2026 and will allow CMU to terminate existing leases for off campus housing but doesn't provide a buffer for increased demand for student housing moving forward. Design is projected to begin in May 2026, with the potential for an early release bid package to include site utilities and earthwork as early as September 7, 2026. Final project completion is anticipated prior to the start of the spring semester which begins the second week of January, 2028 Question Deadline 03/26/2026 at 5:00 PM MT Questions are submitted online Yes, Questions and requests for clarification regarding this project shall be submitted before the deadline listed in the above schedule on online.
