Some Auraria Campus services are reopening

Businesses are enforcing social distancing and taking all required safety precautions.

As a limited number of Metropolitan State University of Denver faculty, staff and students return to campus this week to teach, support and attend Tier 1 courses, some campus businesses are also reopening.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee to go or sitting down for a lunch break, all patrons are required to follow MSU Denver’s health and safety protocols while visiting campus businesses. Roadrunners are asked to act with compassion for one another by following social-distancing guidelines while on campus.  Seating in common spaces and dining areas has been reduced according to health and safety recommendations to support distancing efforts, and campus users are asked to access buildings only through designated entrances.

In the Tivoli Food Court, in particular, only one occupant will be allowed per table, and tables will be disinfected hourly while food vendors are in operation. Hand-sanitizing stations will also be provided.

Please note that reopening details are fluid and that business availability could change with shifting health and safety situations. Please also stay tuned for more information about computer-lab and common-space availability.

For more information on protecting yourself and your fellow Roadrunners, please visit the MSU Denver Safe Return to Campus website. Reference the Auraria Higher Education Center’s 2020 Summer Semester FAQ for operational details.
