In late 2025, the Limelight Boulder hotel and conference center opened its doors to visitors, students and community members. With state-of-the-art amenities including a fitness center, rooftop pool and terrace, 2,000 sq ft game room with an integrated wet bar and a 4,000 sq ft event courtyard, the hotel offers a modern space for exploration and connection. There are also 500 parking spaces available to meet the hotel and university campus parking needs.
Completed as a collaboration between Aspen One Hospitality’s Limelight brand and the University of Colorado Boulder, EXP delivered mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP), fire protection and technology design services.
The project targeted a LEED Gold certification and adhered to strict sustainability standards. The heating, cooling, operational equipment and general-use facility power is conducted with electricity, making it an all-electric hotel with a reduced carbon footprint. EXP’s MEP experts created innovative designs to achieve all-electric status and fulfill client expectations.
“Our teams worked to create the ultimate guest experience within a safe, climate-friendly environment,” EXP Principal Ray Clark said. “We are happy to have helped fulfill the need for additional visitor accommodation that highlights the vibrant personality of Boulder.”
