HISTORICAL PROJECTS


Historical projects include a different skillset required to match original architecture and foundations, while providing new renovation to improve the site. MYC has this experience on multiple projects and takes pride in renovating these facilities while making sure the historical standards are never compromised.

CSU Industrial Science Building

MYC restored the historic CSU Industrial Science Building. The scope of work included exterior water intrusion repair, replacement of approximately 120 windows, exterior masonry revitalization including tuck pointing, cleaning and interior remodel. This building was originally constructed in 1883 and is one of the oldest buildings on the campus. Today the building is called the Preconstruction Center for the Construction Management Department.

Red Rocks Spot Booth and Concessions 

Red Rocks Amphitheater is a registered national historic landmark. The project included the restoration of the pulpit plaza by removing the concession stand at pulpit rock location, rebuilding the spot booth buildings on either side of the amphitheater, rebuilding the lower beer garden concession stand, adding a platform at the visitor’s plaza to provide separation for the accessible concert goers, adding an exterior stairway to the trading post, and remodeling the lower level storage to accommodate ADA toilet rooms. MYC crews salvaged rock so it could be relocated and re-used to build new concessions and beer gardens. The integrity of the amphitheater was protected as all work was completed to ensure that nothing was damaged to preserve the 108-year-old theatre. Masonry and concrete work had stringent requirements to match original construction and weathered appearance.

Won Best Project Award by ENR Mountain States in 2016.
