Type and Scope of services to be performed:
Civic Center is the heart of Denver’s urban public space, the City’s first National Historic Landmark (2012), and a national treasure of the City Beautiful design movement. Over the last century, Civic Center has hosted many of Denver’s most significant public events and gatherings. Today, DOTI, Denver Parks & Recreation (“DPR”), and the Civic Center Conservancy are partnering to develop the next chapter of the park’s rich history. We are excited to announce the next phase of design to enhance and elevate Civic Center Park as the heart of Denver’s Park system and public realm.
The scope of work for this project is a final design for two distinct but connected areas within the Park - the Greek Theater and Central Promenade. First, the intent is to renovate the Greek Theater so that it may continue to function as a space for public assembly and once again become a premier outdoor performance venue and event space in the heart of Denver. Having recently celebrated its 100th Anniversary in 2019, the Greek Theater will need significant renovations and innovations to achieve this goal. In 2017, Denver voters passed the Elevate Denver Bond, which allocated $4 million for improvements to the Greek Theater. Secondly, the 2005 Park Master Plan and 2009 Civic Center Design Guidelines identified needs for significant improvements to the Central Promenade. The Central Promenade has become an important space for hosting large-scale events such as Civic Center EATS, Cinco De Mayo, Denver’s Bike to Work Day, and is an important pedestrian corridor along the north-south “cultural axis” through the Park. Additional infrastructure is needed to support programs and events as part of a long-term strategy to activate Civic Center Park year-round and transform the space to be a welcoming and comfortable place in the park. All of these improvements should fit within the context of the Park and future improvements to the Central Gathering Feature and Bannock Street.
