Together, let’s reimagine the possibilities

Hellems Reimagined

For 100 years, the Hellems Arts & Sciences building has stood at the physical and intellectual center of the University of Colorado. From hosting inspirational classes for 85% of all CU undergraduates to anchoring the Colorado Shakespeare Festival since 1958, the building has provided the setting for countless CU Boulder stories and memories.

Recognizing how Hellems fuels a CU education, the State of Colorado has approved total funding for the Hellems renovation. This renovation will transform the space into a hub for a reimagined liberal arts experience.

Hellems and You: The Heart of Arts & Sciences
