DIA redesign animation

This is just part of the proposed changes.  The renovation will take 4 years and cost $1.8 billion.  For that amount of money, you could build another VA hospital.

The animation doesn't show any of the hideous apocalyptic pictures.  Maybe they will be painted over with just a white wall.

Colorado Heights University closing

Colorado Heights is scheduled to close this fall after the last group of students complete their course work in late October. The closure is sparking anxiety among neighbors and others connected to the historical campus, which was opened in 1891 by the Sisters of Loretto as Loretto Heights Academy, a Catholic elementary and secondary school for girls.  They worry a new owner of the campus will invite more development and increase local traffic. They also want any new owner to preserve the college’s main building, which was designed by architect Frank Edbrooke,who also worked on the Brown Palace, state capitol and numerous other historic buildings.  http://www.denverpost.com/2017/06/28/colorado-highs-university-campus-future/

The historic campus has a twin building, called Westminster Castle, located at 83rd & Federal.
