Residents benefit from a central landscaped quad, community kitchens, and a variety of centralized services. The campus also hosts educational institutions like St. Elizabeth’s School and Denver School of the Arts, as well as career training programs through partnerships with organizations such as Emily Griffith Technical College and Work Options.
