From Lakewood to the Ends of World
Colorado Christian University moved to our current location on Alameda Avenue in Lakewood, Colorado, in 1967. Our campus has allowed our students to enjoy easy access to the mountains as well as served to bring a steady presence to nearby downtown Denver. We're surrounded by a flourishing city and are proud to call Lakewood home.
Under the leadership of President Donald W. Sweeting the University's campus has been transformed to better meet students' needs. CCU has completed construction of a new academic building, two residence halls, and a student center since 2014.
The last decade has been one of unprecedented expansion for CCU. The College of Undergraduate Studies has grown to more than 1,400 traditional undergraduate students who study on the Lakewood campus. Additionally, enrollment in the College of Adult and Undergraduate Studies now surpasses 7,000.
We want students to continue to flock here, to have their lives transformed here. We want students who will be impacted by their faculty and peers and go on to influence others.
Planning for the Future
The Armstrong Legacy Initiative is an effort to secure $30.2 million for the Armstrong Center. An additional $50 million will also be pursued to provide a new endowment fund for need-based student scholarships. These causes were championed by Bill Armstrong during his tenure as CCU president, and they are causes that are at the heart of the Armstrong Legacy.
Since 2016, Dr. Sweeting has led the continued effort to transform the Lakewood campus to meet the needs of 21st century students and has spearheaded the Armstrong Legacy Initiative. The Initiative is close to reaching its first goal, $30.2 million in funding to construct the Armstrong Center — the heart of the academic quad and the future backbone of the University’s residential campus. With $26.8 million funded and pledged to the campaign as of November 1, 2019, the Armstrong Legacy Initiative has entered the home stretch with a planned completion of the first fundraising stage by June 2020.
Now is your opportunity to help make the Armstrong Center a reality. The University is down to the final $3.4 million needed. Please give now to complete the dream.
