Project: Merriweather Post Pavilion
Client: The Downtown Columbia Arts and Culture Commission
Originally designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, Merriweather Post Pavilion is one of the highest rated amphitheaters in the United States. Phase 1 renovation included newly constructed restrooms and concessions stands, and was fully open for the 2016 season. Phase 2 renovations of the entertainment space included demolishing the stage and back of house areas and rebuilding them to evoke a modern feel and entice new bands to perform at the outdoor amphitheater. As this is an active concert venue, JP2 Architects worked closely with the contractor to ensure project completion in the off-season. This phase of the project was open for the 2017 season, and is also available to reserve for private events.
