About Boulder County
Welcome to the Building and Facilities Tour. In 2018, the Boulder County Building Services Division created a Facilities Master Plan to be used as a guiding vision for short-term and future planning for Boulder County’s buildings and facilities. The current plan, which will be updated in 2024/25, includes an assessment of current facilities, including a site’s function and purpose within the county, the public service provided, and the location. Learn more about the current plan here and more about the history of Boulder County here. Scroll to start your journey!
