Denver has completed the $30 million purchase of a historic theater and library that were once part of the Loretto Heights college campus in southwest Denver.<\/p>\n
Once they are renovated, the buildings, near the 3000 block of South Federal Boulevard, will become part of a planned arts-and-culture hub, according to Denver Arts & Venues, the city department that operates Red Rocks Amphitheatre and the Colorado Convention Center.<\/p>\n
The public will be able to see the project’s first design concepts at a meeting in mid-September. Work should start next year, and the renovation of the May Bonfils (Stanton) Performing Arts Center and construction of a new parking garage could be complete by 2026, the city said.<\/p>\n
Some of the buildings on the 72-acre Loretto Heights campus, which sits on a hill dominating the Harvey Park neighborhood, date back as far as 1891 and are now on the National Register of Historic Places. A company called Westside is now redeveloping much of the former Catholic school into a mixed-use development. In 2001, Denver voters approved a\u00a0bond package in 2021\u00a0to help pay for the purchase and renovation of the theater.<\/p>\n
The first public meeting takes place Wednesday, Sept. 13 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria at Church of All Saints, 2559 S. Federal Blvd.<\/p>\n
