Northeastern Junior College Campus
Bank of Colorado Event Center

Facility Details

The Jackson and Edwards Arena serves the college and Northeast Colorado community as a multi-purpose facility where you can find college sporting events, high school and youth sporting events, conventions, concerts, graduation and much more.

It boasts a state of the art video scoreboard which also can double as display for gaming or movies. With modern technology throughout, even the wooden floor of the gym is a suspended system allowing movement with motion to minimize wear and tear on joints during play.

We can convert the building into:

  • A place for shows and other entertainment venues including a 3,000 seat concert arena.
  • Conventions, conferences, seminars, clinics and lectures.
  • Athletic contests; ideal for tournaments.
  • ...and many, many more uses.

We welcome you to the Bank of Colorado Event Center. This exceptional facility provides a huge array of services and activities not only for those who are interested in wellness and fitness on a personal level, but for group activity both large and small. Our customer-driven staff is eager to discuss any ideas or interests you may have. Please inquire about our rental rates, classes and membership opportunities.

Auxiliary Gym

The auxiliary gym, located at the opposite end of the building, provides a second area for varied activity. Day to day it is used for practice and play, but easily converts into a two-court tournament area with or without a center drape. It is ideal for team warm-up space, special program accommodations or a convention exhibit hall. Again, notice the large overhead door which allows big items to be moved into this area.

A batting cage for indoor baseball and softball practice may be lowered from the ceiling as needed. This gym floor, which also moves with motion, is striped for basketball, badminton, and indoor tennis play. Volleyball is frequently played here as well.

Cardio Area

The upper level of the building has a cardiovascular work-out area featuring cycles, cross trainers, treadmills, more weight machines and numerous specialized fitness tools.  This area overlooks the main arena and has overhead televisions.

Weight Room

The Event Center has a free weight room with a wide array of free weights and machines.

If I had to say something about Northeastern it's that it's a very family-run university and it feels great. All the professors and staff of the university are very nice and kind.

What I like best about Northeastern are the very friendly and supportive people that study and work there. As a soccer player, we also have a very bonded team and I really like the combination of competitiveness and help that we offer each other. For students that think about coming to Northeastern you can expect all of these things. Speaking as an international student, you will have an amazing experience here and one you won't regret!

It's the campus life that I like the best. Always being with the team and living together and playing soccer everyday. Northeastern is a great opportunity to start your class experience.
