Renovation Vs. Construction
Many construction options were studied during the research phase of the
project. Renovating and expanding The Avalon emerged as significantly less costly than building a comparable new facility, and this choice also honored the substantial private and public investments that have been made in downtown’s revitalization.

The Past Preserved, The Future Envisioned 

Blending the historic Avalon Theatre with a modern addition creates a wonderful mix of warmth and sophistication that honors our historic roots while stating our aspirations for the future. The beautiful glass exterior of the addition will expose a staircase that seems to float in midair. From it, the valley reveals its spectacular views of the Colorado National Monument and the Bookcliffs.
