The Civic Center Master Plan has officially entered the design phase for the new recreation center, theatre and senior center. City Council approved the master plan in April and selected Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture as the design team in October.

Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture is an award-winning, Denver-based architectural firm with past work including the Carla Madison Recreation Center in Denver, the Arvada Center for the Arts & Humanities, Lakewood Commons, and Children’s Museum of Denver.

The new civic center will be located directly west of the current city hall building. The plan’s first phase allows for a new recreation center to be built while keeping the existing recreation center open. The new recreation center will include new amenities such as a leisure pool, expanded fitness, cardio and weight rooms and a walking track. The plan also includes new and improved spaces for long-standing programs and partnerships, including those with the Northglenn Senior Organization, Northglenn Arts & Humanities Foundation and Northglenn Judo Club, to name just a few.

Once final design for the new recreation center, senior center and theatre is completed, the city will begin the selection process for a general contractor. Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2019 and the recreation center, theatre and senior center are expected to open in 2021. 

Community input was extremely valuable in the master plan development and you are encouraged to provide feedback throughout the design process.
