Baker Hall at CU Boulder Reopens With Modern Perks, Historical Details
The University of Colorado Boulder’s Baker Hall, closed for the past 15 months for its first major renovation in more than 75 years, welcomed 456 students in late August with a modernized interior that better addresses the needs of today’s students while retaining the building’s original charm.
“The 1937 Baker building, the second-oldest residence hall at CU-Boulder, represented an exciting design challenge,” said Thomas Goodhew, assistant director of planning at CU Boulder. “The renovation needed to modernize while honoring the building’s rich architectural style created by Charles Klauder. His vision set the campus aesthetic that we enjoy to this day.”
