The historic McNichols building in Civic Center Park has recently undergone a 4 million dollar renovation, rendering it ready to be Denver's newest home of the arts. The building, which was at one point in time Denver's first library, has been off the map for years. The renovation has brought it back to life in a big way, just in time for Civic Center Park to be recognized as a National Historic Landmark.
The goal of the renovation was to make the building of public interest again. The decision to transform it into a venue for the arts seems to be welcomed by nearby residents, as it will make Civic Center Park even more of a Denver destination. Though the project is still in progress, the work that has already been done is a large improvement to the space. The renovated, redefined space makes for better surrounding Denver real estate. Opportunities for residents in Denver to access fine art and entertainment seem to never cease. This addition to the mixture of stunning venues in downtown Denver will serve to bring a more inviting air to Civic Center Park, something residents have been hoping to see for a long time.
The future of the project includes exciting things to look forward to like a grand staircase off of Colfax to improve access to the structure, as well as a glass wall that will serve to let people look out over the rest of the park on the opposing side. The completed project will surely bring some fresh art and activity to the park, giving tourists and residents alike another reason to pay a visit the area. The proximity to 16th Street Mall, the Art Museum and neighborhoods like Capitol Hill and Congress Park will make this venue a sure success.
The McNichols building is now available for events like weddings, bah mitzvahs, concerts and art exhibitions. It's terribly exciting news for residents in the area, bringing Civic Center park a breath of fresh air. The addition of yet another wonderful destination to see in the area is sure to bring even more exciting events to Denver. A day of sight seeing could consist of 16th Street Mall, The Capitol Building, Civic Center Park, the newly renovated McNichols building art gallery and the Denver Art Museum. All of these landmarks are within a mile of each other and offer residents some of the finest
experiences for entertainment.
