The 50,000 SF PACE performing arts venue is much more than just a state-of-the-art 536-seat theater. The Town of Parker
opened the doors of the brand new arts and cultural center to the
public, offering the space towards a range of events, from weddings and concerts to ballet and computer technology classes.
The concept of the building's materiality is rooted in the deep history
of the site, once occupied by bullwhackers and pioneers, and then
eventually home to one of the first inter-state railroad lines in
Colorado. The low lying 1-story structure, characterized by dark brick
masonry, is meant to be a background and rhythm to the long northern
facade allowing for the punctuated variety of fenestration and
transparency into the building. These intermittent [and sometimes very
large] expanses of glass reinforce the human scale and interface to the
public. Corten steel, whether in solid staggered panels on the 3-story
stage fly-tower or perforated sheets at the main entry, provide a warm
contrast to the cool tones inherent in the expanses of brick and glass.
While the north side is relatively playful in massing and transparency,
the south side is unabashedly open to the seasonal flowing gulch
below. Large overhangs provide shade and shelter to an outdoor plaza in
summer, while still allowing daylight to flood the main lobby and
multi-functional ballroom. Additional glare control can be managed
during the late afternoon through automatic window shades.
The stage & support spaces have been considered for all types of
performances, allowing for maximum flexibility while still providing a
high level of quality in acoustics, lighting and rigging options.
Audience members are provided a range of viewing experiences within a
relatively compact theater without compromising comfort or sight lines.
Both the design & construction team team worked tirelessly to
deliver a building that accommodated all the best principles of
modernity, community values, functionality and theatrical drama.
