From “friendly”-designed elementary schools that emphasized color and child-scale to the flexibility and informality of the movable furniture and walls frequently found on sprawling modern secondary school campuses, the designs of these schools reflect the social, cultural, demographic, and economic transformations in Colorado throughout the twentieth century. With funding from the History Colorado State Historical Fund, the University of Colorado Denver will document Colorado’s mid-century schools and demonstrate their significance through technical tools, such as a National Register Multiple Property Documentation Form, and public-friendly educational materials, such as a visual guide to mid-century architecture and local outreach presentations.
