The University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) is a public research university in Colorado Springs, Colorado.^[3] Information technology is one of four campuses that make up the University of Colorado system. Equally of Fall 2017, UCCS had over 12,400 undergraduate and i,822 graduate students, with 32% ethnic minority students.^{[ii] [iv]} It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – Loftier research activity".^[v]

History [edit]

The campus history begins with the creation of Cragmor Sanatorium, which is now Chief Hall. In 1902, William Jackson Palmer donated funds to build a sanatorium (a place for treatment, rehabilitation, and therapy for the chronically ill). The Cragmor Sanatorium opened in 1905 and was nicknamed the "Sun Palace" due to its sun-loving architecture. In the following decades, it developed a following amongst the cultural elite, and many of its patients were wealthy. However, they were hit hard by the Great Depression in the 1930s and Cragmor suffered from financial distress into the 1940s. Information technology was briefly reinvigorated in the 1950s when a contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs established Cragmor equally a treatment center for Navajos with tuberculosis. About ten years subsequently, the Navajo patients were transferred elsewhere.^{[half dozen]}

Every bit early on as 1945, the University of Colorado offered classes in the Colorado Springs area at various locations, more often than not Colorado College. Past the 1960s, however, a permanent campus was desired.^[vi]

On February 16, 1961, the Committee for the Expansion of the University of Colorado was formed. The co-chairmen were Joseph Petta and Ronald B Macintyre. Members included Angelo Christopher, Clint Cole, Albert Hesse, Don King, Don Kopis, Rosemary Macintyre, Dorothy Petta, Harrington Richardson, Joseph Reich, Robin Tibbets, Mike Valliant, Phyllis Warner, and John Whigham. (These Co-founders are all honored on a plaque in the foyer of the electric current campus site.) On March 4, 1961, they submitted a resolution to expand the extension of The University of Colorado to Colorado Springs. Legislators were favorable. Afterward several more than years of local and state meetings in June 1964, the next phase of UCCS's evolution came well-nigh when Dr. George Dwire, the Executive Director of the Cragmor Sanatorium, began formal actions necessary to transfer the assets of the Cragmoor Corporation to the University of Colorado. The solution came when George T. Dwire sold the Cragmor Sanatorium belongings for $i to the state, which became the holding of the Academy of Colorado in 1964.^[6]

In 1965, UCCS moved to its current location on Austin Bluffs Parkway in the Cragmor neighborhood of Northern Colorado Springs. The campus is located at one of the highest parts of the city.^[6]

Because of its ties to Hewlett-Packard, initial university programs focused on technology and business, and classes were held in the Cragmor Sanatorium edifice, what is now Main Hall, and Cragmor Hall, a modern expansion of Main Hall. The first building congenital exclusively for UCCS, Dwire Hall, was not complete until 1972.^[6]

A 1997 community plebiscite merged Beth-El College of Nursing with UCCS. In recent years, programs such every bit the Network Data and Space Security Centre were added to connect the university with the military to ameliorate national security. Other programs, including the CU Plant for Bioenergetics and the Institute for Science and Space Studies, bandage an eye toward the future.^[vi]

In 2001, UCCS purchased an 87,000-square-foot (8,100 m²) edifice at the corner of Union and Austin Bluffs to business firm the Beth-El College of Nursing.^[6]
