In
1999, voters approved a $268 million expansion of
the Colorado Convention Center that will double
the size of the facility. The expansion, scheduled
to open on December 6, 2004, will add: 292,000 sq.
ft. of new exhibit space; 35,000 sq. ft. of new
meeting space; a new 50,000 sq. ft. ballroom; a
new 5,000-fixed seat auditorium; and a new 1,000-space
parking garage. This will bring the completed Colorado
Convention Center up to a total of 584,000 square
feet of contiguous exhibit space on one level, 100,000
square feet of meeting space on one level, and two
ballrooms of 35,000 square feet and 50,000 square
feet.

Denver Art Museum Expansion -

In
1999, the citizens of the city and county of Denver
voted in support of a $62.5 million bond initiative
to expand the Denver Art Museum. The 146,000 square
foot addition, designed by world-renowned architect
Daniel Libeskind (among his projects, the Jewish
Museum in Berlin and the Felix Nussbaum Haus in
Osnabruck, Germany), will bring the entire museum
complex to a total of more than 350,000 square feet.
If we attempted to put this design into words, we
couldn't. The fact of the matter is that this a
Daniel Libeskind design, and Denver hasn't seen
anything like this before. This building will usher
in a whole new era of architecture for Denver; let's
just hope that this era of innovation is here to
stay. |
