We start the tour at the CASE building;
however, you can begin your self-guided
tour at any point along the way.
Each number represents a stop on the tour and is

The University Memorial Center (UMC, F-5) is
where students can find it all. Filled with restaurants,
tables, conference rooms and the book store, the
UMC is where students commonly gather to relax,
eat and meet friends.
Old Main (MAIN, D-4) Our first building, Old Main,
was built in 1876 with donations from our generous
community. Old Main once housed the entire
university, including the president, the janitor, the
library and all the classrooms. The third floor of
this beautiful building is home to the CU Heritage
Center—a free center that showcases the history
of CU Boulder.
4 Macky Auditorium (MCKY, D-4) Built in 1912, Macky
Auditorium is one of Colorado’s premier concert halls.
The 2,036-seat theater hosts classical and popular
musical concerts, dance performances, lectures
and films. Stop by to see the beautiful interior.
