The presentation and tour will focus on the unique design features and challenges of the Denver Art Museum North Building project.  The 1971 Gio Ponti-designed North Building is undergoing a complete renovation, including a new steel structure to create a gallery space over the existing 7th level roof, a new 10,000 square foot infill floor at the museum’s 2nd level, and a new double elevator running the full height of the building.  The new Welcome Center is being constructed on the site of an existing structure and will connect the North Building with the Hamilton Wing built in 2006.  The Welcome Center presents the challenge of designing to the constraints of two existing buildings, as well as the architectural and structural aspects of a unique elliptical glass curtain wall façade.
