Construction of History Colorado Center Completed on Time
History Colorado celebrated a building milestone in early October with the on-schedule and on-budget completion of construction on the new History Colorado Center—just one year after it topped out. The $110.8-million, 200,000-sq-ft state-owned facility will be a 21st Century museum, educational and tourist destination when it opens to the public next spring.
The History Colorado Center serves as headquarters for History Colorado administration, including the State Historical Fund, the Office of Archaeology & Historic Preservation, and the Stephen H. Hart research library. Located in Denver’s Golden Triangle Museum District and Civic Center cultural complex, the building was designed by Denver’s Tryba Architects, managed by the Denver office of Trammell Crow Co. and constructed by Colorado-based Hensel Phelps Construction Co.
