It provides academic resources and research experiences to students, staff, and faculty at the University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver), the Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver), and the Community College of Denver (CCD) on the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) campus, also called the Auraria Campus. The Library is administratively operated by CU Denver and occupies a building owned by the State of Colorado. The Auraria Library is the largest tri-institional college library in the world, serving more than 43,000 students, faculty, and staff from three institutions: Community College of Denver (CCD), Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver), and the University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver). The campus reflects the diversity of Colorado higher education—MSU Denver and CCD are federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and CU Denver is designated as an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution. Hispanic/Latina/o/x students comprise 44% of CCD’s student body and 36% of MSU Denver’s, while Asian/Pacific Islander students make up 13% of CU Denver’s enrollment. Graduates from these institutions play a key role in the Denver metropolitan area’s economic and civic life, with many choosing to remain in the region to live and work. The library is k
