In 2022, the College of Architecture and Planning Preservation Program was named in honor of the legendary Dana Crawford, a trailblazer for historic preservation and urban revitalization in Colorado.
Crawford's many contributions to Denver's preservation include Larimer Square, Oxford Hotel, Ice House, Acme Lofts, Edbrooke Lofts, Cooper Flats, Flour Mill Lofts, Ajax Lofts, Jack Kerouac Lofts, and Union Station.
At CU Denver, we are proud to continue Crawford's legacy, which will be celebrated and remembered thanks to her wellspring of contributions to the community we call home and through future generations of students studying historic preservation in the Dana Crawford Preservation Program.
