History

Originally planned in 2001, Colfax station was one of two stops designed for the area formerly occupied by the Fitzsimons Army Medical Center. This site was transformed by the Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority into a campus centered around what was then known as the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. The second station planned for this location evolved into what is now the Fitzsimons station.
