History & Fun Facts

•(December 2025) The campus history begins with the creation of Cragmor Sanatorium, which is now Main Hall.
•In 1902, William Jackson Palmer donated funds to build a sanatorium (a place for treatment, rehabilitation, and therapy for the chronically ill).
•The Cragmor Sanatorium opened in 1905 and was nicknamed the "Sun Palace" due to its sun-loving architecture.
•It was briefly reinvigorated in the 1950s when a contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs established Cragmor as a treatment center for Navajos with tuberculosis.
•As early as 1945, the University of Colorado offered classes in the Colorado Springs area at various locations, mostly Colorado College.
