WWII Navajo Code Talkers Honored as America's 'Secret Weapon' in '80s Celebration
The $124.4 million, 332-bed hall honors Native American code talkers from over 20 tribes and veterans, preserving on-campus housing during renovations, university officials said.
- On Nov. 6, the University of Colorado Board of Regents approved renaming the residence hall to honor Native American Code Talkers, replacing Residence One near Boulder High School.
- Regents noted the move honors veterans and recognizes Vetsville’s history as a CU student veteran community; the university said the timing aligns with Native American Heritage Month and Veterans Day.
- Code Talker Hall will offer 332 beds in apartment-style units for graduate students and non-first-year undergraduate students, including study rooms, community lounges, a café, and a UPS store, helping maintain housing capacity during renovations.
- The decision underscores ties to 11 tribes with Colorado ties, including the Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa, Navajo Nation and Osage Nation, and Regent Nolbert Chavez said he wants Code Talker Hall history displayed for residents and visitors.
- Scheduled to open in fall 2026, Code Talker Hall will maintain student housing during renovations and honors Native American servicemen during Veterans Day and Native American Heritage Month.
