The Loretto Heights Parking Garage and its surrounding Arrival Plaza are set to receive a major design overhaul after the city approved a substantial funding increase for the project.
Denver has amended its contract with Perkins Eastman Architects, D.P.C., injecting $3,157,676 into the budget to cover design and construction administrative services. This addition brings the total contract value to $11,018,638, extending the project timeline with a new completion target of June 3, 2028.
Located in Council District 2, the project focuses on modernizing the infrastructure at the Loretto Heights campus. The amended filings, identified as DOTI-202266192 and DOTI-202683273-02, specifically target the parking garage and the arrival plaza, aiming to improve traffic flow and visitor access to the site.
This contract adjustment reflects the ongoing complexity of large-scale civic infrastructure projects, where design revisions and administrative needs often require additional capital beyond initial estimates. The extension ensures the firm has the necessary resources to finalize plans before construction begins.
