What They Say

We are excited for the ways this new facility will be a venue for showcasing all of the exciting innovation and leadership occurring on our campus and in our community. It will truly benefit so many, from our students and their families to our faculty researchers to local businesses and nonprofits in the community that have been yearning for an event space like this. And we’re excited for the experience and industry leadership that Limelight Hotels bring to our community with this project.
— CU Boulder Chief Operating Officer Pat O’Rourke
We are extremely excited about the conference center and hotel on the CU Boulder campus. This is not only the breakthrough that the University Hill business district has been looking for, but also a big stimulus and very important for the entire Hill neighborhood and Boulder community. Having a conference center in town ensures that local businesses and community organizations have a place right here in town to host major events and that Boulder can compete with other cities for major meetings and conferences. We look forward to our partnership with Limelight and CU Boulder to ensure its success.
— Charlene Hoffman, chief executive officer of the Boulder Convention and Visitors Bureau
We’re looking forward to designing a transformative destination of which many stakeholders can be proud, including the University of Colorado, the City of Boulder, the Boulder community and our organization. We have a shared passion across all parties to establish the Limelight as a focal point within the community, and are exploring innovative design and construction methods in order to deliver a building that will withstand the test of time.
— Alinio Azevedo, managing director and chief operating officer of The Little Nell Hotel Group
The vision for an anchoring conference center and hotel in Boulder is coming to fruition. This facility is very important to the university and also to our community’s vibrancy as a place for thought, gathering and collaboration, and anchors Boulder as the place where our state’s flagship university thrives. The City of Boulder congratulates our partners at CU and looks forward to the project’s progress.
