History
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
The University of Colorado created the Department of Medicine and Surgery in September 1883 in the Old Main building on the Boulder campus. The Department of Nursing opened in 1898.
In 1892, the last two years of classes were taught in Denver because the larger population provided a more practical experience. This practice sparked something of a grass battle with the University of Denver medical school and the next legal battle went to the state Supreme Court. In 1897, the court found that the CU charter limited them to Boulder. However, in 1910, the CU got an amendment to the state constitution allowing them to return to Denver. In 1911, the School of Medicine combined with Denver and Gross Medical College to set up a larger school with a more comprehensive program, paving the way for permanent school move to Denver. In 1925, the School of Medicine moved to campus at Ninth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard in Denver. This will be the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center (UCHSC).
In 1995, the Fitzsimons Army Medical Center was officially included in the Base Arrangement and Closure list, after which officials from the Health Sciences Center, Colorado University Hospital and Aurora City presented a proposal to the Department of Defense in Washington, DC to reuse the has been disabled as an academic medical center. In 1999, the Army base was closed under the Act of Rearrangement and Closure in 1995. In 2004, the UCHSC laboratories first moved from Denver to the research tower on the Fitzsimons campus. In 2006, the Fitzsimons campus of UCHSC was renamed Anschutz Medical Campus in recognition of philanthropic donations from Philip and Nancy Anschutz. At the end of 2008, the academic and research operations of all CU Denver health schools and colleges were relocated from the Ninth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard campuses to the new Anschutz campus, joining the University Hospital of Colorado and the affiliated Children's Hospital. In 2011, the Bupati approved the name of University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus.

On 11 January 1973, MPs, following the proclamation of the governor, changed the state constitution to establish additional CU campuses, turning the University of Colorado - Denver Center to Denver University of Denver (Denver CU). Between 1973 and 1976, the State of Colorado built the Aurora Higher Education Center (AHEC) on a 127 acres (1271 km) city center campus to be deployed by the University of Colorado Denver, Metropolitan.
