Denver has proposed a $16.49 million contract with David Owen Tryba Architects to design a renovation of Boettcher Concert Hall. The contract, which would run through Jan. 30, 2030, is scheduled for consideration by the Parks, Art and Culture Committee on Nov. 3 and has not been approved, according to the city’s Legistar listing.
The more-than-45-year-old hall was last renovated in 1993. The city’s contract request includes design work for heating and cooling, fire protection and life-safety systems, data and technology, stage lighting and audiovisual equipment. The scope also covers interior finishes, seating, acoustics, circulation, accessibility and an education component. Roof or façade repairs or replacement could be included as needed.
The request lists the Vibrant Denver GO Bond 2026B as the funding source. It also calls for evaluating a patron pavilion expansion and a west-side addition intended to activate the adjacent sculpture park; neither is a confirmed construction commitment.
The $16.49 million covers design services, not the full renovation. The request does not provide a construction budget or total project cost.
