This triangular site in downtown Denver had long been passed over because of being hemmed in by elevated highways on three sides, leaving only enough room for this 90,000-sq-ft immersive art center to be less than 10 ft from the triangle of highways.
Steel erection posed the first major challenge for contractor Turner and structural engineer KL&A. Erection sequences were mapped out to allow the building to go up with rigging and picking performed inside the footprint, and steel sections were rotated like Tetris pieces before being swung into place. Nothing could be lifted over the roads.
