BMoCA Leads the Way on North Boulder’s Creative Campus

The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) is at the heart of one of the most exciting community architecture projects in Colorado: the North Boulder Creative Campus. Set to transform the NoBo Arts District into a vibrant cultural hub, this project will blend residential, retail, and office spaces with a new home for BMoCA. The project’s bold vision has put community and design at the forefront of its mission.

Trestle Strategy Group was thrilled to partner with BMoCA and Emerald Development on the selection process for the campus architect, lending our expertise to help shape this visionary project. With over 60 architectural firms submitting proposals, the shortlist of finalists is impressive, featuring both global and local talent, including firms like Tatiana Bilbao Studio, Johnston Marklee, and Denver-based Tres Birds.

What makes the Creative Campus particularly special is its commitment to public input. This design competition, open to the community, ensures that the campus will reflect Boulder’s values and collaborative spirit. The public presentations later this year will give residents a chance to witness these visionary ideas firsthand.

With construction expected to begin in 2027, the Creative Campus will serve as a catalyst for NoBo’s continued growth as an arts district. Trestle is excited to be part of a project that will have a lasting impact on Boulder’s cultural landscape.
