At the time the original campus was begun, much of the area around the original buildings was vacant, and it was thought that the campus would never outgrow the land. That was not the case, and when the Fitzsimmons Army Hospital Base became available in 1996, the University of Colorado Health Sciences Campus began to move on to what became the Anschutz Medical Campus. Most of the buildings of the original 9th Ave Campus have been demolished for redevelopment, except the nurse’s residence, one of the original building on the campus.
