For its new home, The Colorado Ballet sought a state-of-the-art facility with professional-grade rehearsal studios, a physical therapy room, a small black box performance space for its professional company and educational programs, as well as administrative offices. That vision came to life in the transformational combination of a historic structure and new construction. The dynamic result not only meets the Ballet’s needs, but defines the gateway of a local creative district. For dance students, company members and the community, the building conveys a strong commitment to art and community.
