The information desk, bookstore, news room, and campus recreation offices are housed in the lower level. A basketball court and gym will soon to be expanded to include larger facilities for games and a multi-use area to help ease strain on the facility until permanent facilities near 4-Diamonds are constructed sometime during the mid twenty-teens.

• Campus Recreation Center (2007) – Recently completed, this new state-of-the-art recreation building for students, replacing the current facilities at the University Center, features a swimming pool, a climbing wall, and a full basketball court, along with the full complement of equipment.
• Osborne Center for Science and Engineering (2009) – Formerly the "Science and Engineering Building", renamed in May 2011, this building was designed by NAC Architecture and provides a twofold expansion of science and engineering classrooms and facilities, and connects via a bridge to the Engineering and Applied Sciences building.
• Centennial Hall (2010) – The building was completely gutted and rebuilt inside with the exception of new classrooms added in 2006. Formerly called the Science Building, it was built in 1981 and used for science and anthropology classes along with the student art gallery.
• UCCS Events Center (2010) – Money originally allocated to construct a temporary new home for Mountain Lion athletics was instead added to a larger budget to significantly expand the current athletics gym and create a new Events Center, which will, in addition to providing a larger gym for volleyball and basketball, will serve as a venue for conferences and large lectures when completed. The center is projected to open in early 2010.
• South Hall (2011) – Preliminary plans call for a new building to be constructed either where Lot 1 is currently adjacent to Cragmor Hall or on newly purchased property in between Campus Services and University Hall. The smaller facility would house general classrooms and be a new home for the Psychology department and a non-UCCS clinic that specializes in geriatric care.
• Summit Village Expansion (2011?) – Preliminary plans call for the construction of two additional dormitories adjacent to the current Aspen House.
