Project Description
The Unites States Olympic Museum is located in Colorado Springs on a 1.7-acre site to the east of Interstate 25 between West Colorado Avenue and West Cimarron Street.
The Olympic Museum will be over 60,000 square feet with approximately 30,000 square feet dedicated to various aspects of the Olympic games, and its athletes.
The museum’s custom exterior will have a one-of-a-kind metal panel skin system, curtain wall glass, and accent lighting. The museum will also have a large public plaza and café (located to the right of the museum in the sample rendering) which will have a green roof contributing to the museum’s future LEED Gold rating.
Additional scopes of work include a $10M custom bridge spanning the adjacent railroad tracks to the west which will connect the museum’s site to the large America the Beautiful Park; there will also be approximately $5M in surrounding site/streetscape improvements.
This project is a joint venture between the United States Olympic Museum Committee, the City of Colorado Springs, and multiple financial institutions.
