The HIVE

Hive Page Banner

The Hub for Innovation + Vibrant Expression (The HIVE,  E380) is a social hub for CU Boulder's language learning and teaching community. On any given day you might stumble across an Italian conversation table debating over the best coffee, students conversing in Thai, or a lively game of German Monopoly, all underscored by the hypnotic beat of the latest samba music. The HIVE @ALTEC is never a dull place.
