Anschutz Student Center

What makes a student center more than just bricks and mortar? At the Anschutz Student Center, it’s the heartbeat of Colorado Christian University. This isn’t just a building. It’s where ideas spark, friendships forge, and futures take shape. Opened on August 24, 2017, the Anschutz Student Center is a bustling hub of activity, nestled right in the heart of CCU’s campus. This 60,000-square-foot space isn’t just about studying. It’s a place to relax, refuel, and connect. Picture this: the aroma of coffee from the Cougar Den on the main floor, the laughter echoing from the game room upstairs, the quiet murmur of conversation in the Great Room. The north side of the building is bathed in natural light, thanks to a clever design that takes advantage of the landscape’s slope. This design creates a welcoming atmosphere, inviting students to study, socialize, or simply unwind. The Great Room itself is a masterpiece of design. Its warm wood and stone accents, highlighted by a cozy fireplace, create an inviting space for gatherings. Natural daylight streams through the windows, illuminating the room and adding to its charm. The Anschutz Student Center is more than just a building; it’s a testament to CCU’s values. Ted Harms, the executive director of the Anschutz Foundation, recognized this when he called investing in the Student Center a “no-brainer” because of CCU’s Christian principles. It’s a place where faith and education intertwine. This place is where students are nurtured and empowered. The Anschutz Student Center embodies the spirit of CCU. It’s a place where students can truly thrive.
