US Olympic Museum project contractors announced
Colorado’s proposed Olympic Museum is a step closer to becoming reality after the US Olympic Museum Board revealed further details of the project and announced contractors tasked with building the museum.
Local Colorado Springs firm GE Johnson has been chosen as general contractor while Denver-based Anderson Mason Dale are project architects.
Interior and exhibit design work will be performed by a number of out-of-town firms including Gallagher & Associates of Washington, DC which worked on the National Museum of World War II Aviation at the Colorado Springs Airport.
The museum will showcase exhibits and artifacts from US Olympic and Paralympic history and will feature a hall of fame, a theater, a 20,000-square-foot exhibit hall and retail spaces.
Slated to open in late 2017, the museum is just one of four elements that makes up the ambitious City for Champions tourism complex which was awarded $120.5 million over 30 years in state tax breaks.
The City for Champions project will also include a proposed $92.7 million sports and events center with a 10,000-seat outdoor stadium and a 3,000-seat indoor venue.
