Officials from the Auraria Higher Education Center have announced
that all Auraria Campus buildings will be locked from Aug. 23-29 during
the Democratic National Convention. The buildings will re-open
Saturday, Aug. 30.
Only pre-authorized campus personnel will be able to enter the
buildings, as their campus IDs will be encoded specifically for access
that week only. Authorized access will be limited to one access point
per building and no visitors will be allowed.
As announced in the June 18 edition of This Week @Metro,
Metro State will be closed the week of the DNC. All employees, except
those who’ve been notified that they are considered essential
personnel, will be placed on administrative leave and are required to
be on call that week. To read more go to

campus lockdown. For more information or questions call 303-556-3291.
