Denver Public Schools wants to use the soon-to-close Denver campus of Johnson & Wales University.
The school system is looking to expand Denver School of the Arts, the system’s magnet school for sixth to 12th graders at 7111 Montview Blvd. in South Park Hill located across the street from the university campus.
The school’s current enrollment is 1,100, and it has exceeded its intended 900-student capacity since 2003, according to a presentation shared with BusinessDen by a DPS spokeswoman. Five hundred students are turned away annually.

A nonprofit is working to purchase the Denver campus of Johnson & Wales University.
Denver-based Urban Land Conservancy is under contract for the entire 25-acre campus in South Park Hill, according to sources familiar with the deal. The main address is 7150 Montview Blvd.
Providence, Rhode Island-based Johnson & Wales announced last June that it would close its campuses in Denver and North Miami, Florida, in the summer of 2021. The move will leave the private nonprofit institution with two campuses, in Providence and Charlotte, North Carolina.
ULC generally develops and manages projects that involve income-restricted housing, as well as office space leased to other nonprofit organizations. The company typically partners with other firms in its development work.
