Maps

Here is the area around the Fitzsimons campus:



Here is a partial campus map:

In this map, you enter the campus from the south (bottom), proceed north on Ursula St., and park near where building #8 is to be.  The dark shape labeled #1 in the top center of the map is the old hospital building, where most offices are located (the Army called it building 500).

The new Anschutz Center is labeled #4, and #6 is the new Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute.  Construction has begun on the Nighthorse Campbell Native Health building (#8) and  Research Complex One (#14), but not on #23 and #24.  The cross street in front of the hospital, labeled Charlie Kelly Blvd here, has been renamed renamed 17th Place.

There are more maps of Fitzsimons.

Road Conditions

There will be continuous construction on campus for the next 10-20 years, so anticipate some road closures and large trucks.  Also, the campus police mean business - mind your speed.

Alternative transportation

A number of Regional Transportation District (RTD, 303-299-6000) buses serve the campus from approximately 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. From downtown you can take #15 or #20 buses.  They stop in front of the main hospital building, on the east edge of the west parking lot.  Schedules are available at the Parking and Transportation office, on the 9th Ave. campus.
