It closed as a base in 1999 and quickly became an even busier place with the CU Health Sciences Center relocating here. This picture is from 1973. My dad worked on the 6th floor from 1978-1982 as a cardiologist. It opened in 1918, Building 400 (the main building) didn't open until 1941.<br /><br />I promise you any paranormal activity was short lived; that entire building has undergone major renovations in the past 10 years.<br />Bill Woodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615125329962642667.post-90452276574877045512020-06-08T17:32:12.069-06:002020-06-08T17:32:12.069-06:00I was working maintenance during the BRAC turnover...I was working maintenance during the BRAC turnover in early 2000. While I was finished changing burnt out light bulbs on the eight floor in the west wing, a lady stepped out of the elevator telling me that she'd hold the elevator for me. As I got to the elevator with the door standing open, the lady was nowhere around. I thought nothing of it until I read this post today. Thanks for sharing.

I lived right up the street from it as a kid (1968 -1972) and even took swimming lessons in building 500, in the olympic size pool they had downstairs - in the evenings in a half lit room. I understand the pool is no longer there and the building has obviously had a facelift, as it used to have a red brick facade, but it has always been in use. As for haunted, I have no doubt. I always had the feeling that there was someone there watching us from a distance and you can feel the strong presence of spirits in the hallways. There are also the shadows you see and strange sounds of movement. <br /><br />I am curious though ... what's supposed to be on the 8th floor? I've not heard about that.

It sits in the heart of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus which includes several research towers, various Schools of Medicine and Children's and University Hospitals. Building 500, which I was in yesterday, is the workplace of over 1000 people. It's most assuredly not deserted. Just off of E. Colfax, come visit the campus on Food Truck Wednesday's, held in the plaza just south of Building 500.Tom S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08344576710230223629noreply@blogger.com
