The Previous Hundred Years
For one hundred years, Colorado Mesa University has transformed lives and shaped the future of Western Colorado. Each project, each building, each innovation has added to our legacy of excellence.
From the founding of Grand Junction Junior College with just 39 students to becoming a comprehensive university serving over 10,000 Mavericks, our campus has grown alongside our community's ambitions. These milestones represent more than construction — they embody our commitment to accessible education and regional prosperity.






Investing in The Future
The projects showcased below represent more than $100 million in transformative investments. Each initiative strengthens our academic excellence, enhances student life, and deepens our connection to the Western Slope community we've proudly served for 100 years.
