A dynamic Denver campus celebrating the West with research labs, riverfront gathering spaces, and year-round festivals.
Description
The 2.2 million-square-foot development unfolds as a collection of specialized venues rather than a conventional exhibition hall. Facilities across the grounds include the Stockyards Event Center, the Livestock Center, and the CSU Spur educational hub, alongside the WSSA Legacy building and spaces like CoBank Arena. Outdoor gatherings center on The Yards and a six-acre riverfront open space with an amphitheater, staging a calendar that stretches from farmers markets to international conferences celebrating the past, present, and future of the West.
