History

• The University of Colorado created its Department of Medicine and Surgery in September 1883 in the Old Main building on the Boulder campus, and its Department of Nursing opened in 1898.科罗拉多大学 1883 年 9 月在博尔德校区的老主楼创设医学与外科系，护理系则于 1898 年开办。

• By 1892 the final two years of medical classes were taught in Denver because the larger population offered more practical experience, a practice that triggered a dispute with the University of Denver's medical school and a case reaching the state Supreme Court, which ruled in 1897 that the charter confined teaching to Boulder.到 1892 年，医学课程的最后两年因丹佛人口更多、临床经验更丰富而移至此地授课，此举引发与丹佛大学医学院的纷争并诉至州最高法院，法院 1897 年裁定该校章程仅允许在博尔德办学。

• A 1910 amendment to the state constitution allowed the university to return to Denver, and in 1911 the School of Medicine combined with the Denver and Gross Medical College to form a larger school with a more comprehensive programme.1910 年州宪法修正案允许科罗拉多大学重返丹佛办学，1911 年医学院又与丹佛和格罗斯医学院合并，组成学科更齐全的大型医学院。

• In 1925 the School of Medicine moved to the campus on Ninth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard in Denver, the site that later became the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.1925 年医学院迁往丹佛第九大道与科罗拉多大道交界的校园，该址后来成为科罗拉多大学健康科学中心。

• The Denver institution traces its own origin to 1912, when the Extension Center of the University of Colorado's Department of Correspondence and Extension was established.丹佛办学实体的源头可追溯至 1912 年科罗拉多大学函授与推广部设立的推广中心。

• In 1938 the Extension Center acquired permanent quarters in the C.A. Johnson Building at 509 17th Street, where a single full-time faculty member ran the school with the help of part-time teachers.1938 年推广中心取得第 17 街 509 号 C·A·约翰逊大厦作为永久校舍，当时仅一名全职教员带领若干兼职教师维持教学。

• In 1947 the Extension Center moved into the Fraternal Building at 1405 Glenarm Place, and in 1956 the university acquired the Denver Tramway Company Building at 14th and Arapahoe Streets.1947 年推广中心迁入格莱纳姆广场 1405 号的兄弟会大厦，1956 年大学又购入位于第 14 街与阿拉帕霍街路口的丹佛缆车公司大楼。

• In 1964 the Extension Center was renamed the University of Colorado Denver Center, the immediate predecessor of the present campus.1964 年推广中心更名为科罗拉多大学丹佛中心，即现今校区的直接前身。

• On 11 January 1973, on the proclamation of the governor, lawmakers amended the state constitution to establish additional University of Colorado campuses, transforming the Denver Center into the University of Colorado Denver.1973 年 1 月 11 日，州议会依州长公告修正州宪法以增设科罗拉多大学校区，丹佛中心由此升格为科罗拉多大学丹佛分校。

• Between 1973 and 1976 the State of Colorado built the Auraria Higher Education Center, a 127-acre downtown campus shared by the University of Colorado Denver, the Metropolitan State University of Denver and the Community College of Denver.1973 至 1976 年间，科罗拉多州建成奥拉里亚高等教育中心，这片 127 英亩的市中心校区由科罗拉多大学丹佛分校、州立丹佛都会大学与丹佛社区大学三校共用。

• In 1977 the Denver campus expanded into the newly opened Auraria Higher Education Center and later into several buildings extending into downtown Denver.1977 年丹佛校区扩展至新落成的奥拉里亚高等教育中心，其后又陆续进驻延伸至丹佛市中心的数栋楼宇。

• In 1995 the Fitzsimons Army Medical Center was placed on the Base Realignment and Closure list, and officials of the Health Sciences Center, the University of Colorado Hospital and the City of Aurora proposed to the Department of Defense that the decommissioned base become an academic health center.1995 年菲茨西蒙斯陆军医疗中心被列入基地调整与关闭名单，健康科学中心、科罗拉多大学医院与奥罗拉市官员随即向国防部提议，把这座待退役基地改建为学术医疗中心。

• The Army base closed in 1999 under that 1995 action, and in 2004 the first Health Sciences Center laboratories moved from Denver to the research towers on the Fitzsimons campus.该陆军基地依 1995 年决议于 1999 年关闭，2004 年健康科学中心首批实验室从丹佛迁入菲茨西蒙斯园区的研究大楼。

• In 2006 the Fitzsimons campus was renamed CU Anschutz in recognition of philanthropic donations from Philip and Nancy Anschutz, and by the end of 2008 all health sciences schools and colleges had relocated there.2006 年该园区为答谢菲利普·安舒茨与南希·安舒茨夫妇的捐赠而更名 CU 安舒茨，到 2008 年底全部健康科学学院均已迁入。

• The relocated schools joined the affiliated University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital on the Aurora site, completing the separation of the health sciences from the downtown campus.迁入的各学院与附属的科罗拉多大学医院、儿童医院在奥罗拉院区会合，健康科学学科由此与市中心校区完成分离。

• In the summer of 2004 the University of Colorado Denver and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center merged to create the University of Colorado Denver and Health Sciences Center, known as UCDHSC.2004 年夏，科罗拉多大学丹佛分校与科罗拉多大学健康科学中心合并为科罗拉多大学丹佛分校与健康科学中心，简称 UCDHSC。

• On 29 October 2007 the board of regents voted to rename UCDHSC the University of Colorado Denver, consisting of the CU Anschutz and Denver campuses.2007 年 10 月 29 日，校董会投票决定把 UCDHSC 更名为科罗拉多大学丹佛分校，由安舒茨校区与丹佛校区组成。

• In August 2011 the regents approved the styling University of Colorado Denver, Anschutz Medical Campus, for official use, while the legal name of the dual institution remained University of Colorado Denver.2011 年 8 月校董会批准对外使用「科罗拉多大学丹佛分校安舒茨医学校区」的称谓，而这一双校区机构的法定名称仍为科罗拉多大学丹佛分校。

• In 2014 the University of Colorado appointed separate chancellors for the Denver and Anschutz campuses, effectively separating the two, though some dual campus programmes continue to be offered.2014 年科罗拉多大学为丹佛与安舒茨两校区分别任命校监，两校区由此事实上分开，但仍保留部分双校区合办项目。

• The marketing campaign ALL FOUR COLORADO emphasises the distinct identities of the Denver and Anschutz campuses alongside the Boulder and Colorado Springs campuses of the university system.名为 ALL FOUR COLORADO 的市场推广活动强调丹佛校区与安舒茨校区同系统内博尔德、科罗拉多斯普林斯两校区各自的独立定位。

• The university was long associated with Beall's List, created by the former faculty member Jeffrey Beall to flag predatory journals, and with the list's discontinuation in 2017 after a research misconduct investigation against him closed without finding misconduct.该校长期与「比尔名单」相联：前教员杰弗里·比尔创建该名单以标记掠夺性期刊，2017 年针对他的学术不端调查以未发现不端告终后，名单停止更新。
