Our team took on the challenge of updating the facility to meet modern safety standards while retaining its historic charm.

Here's a glimpse into the renovation process:

We began by conducting a detailed assessment of the coliseum, examining its structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, and accessibility. This comprehensive evaluation formed the basis for our renovation plans.

Our architects were dedicated to preserving the coliseum's historical significance throughout the renovation process. We carefully studied original blueprints, photographs, and documents to ensure that any changes made honored the building's architectural heritage.

3. Enhancing Safety Measures

Safety was of paramount importance during the renovations. Our team identified and addressed potential hazards, strengthening the structural framework, upgrading fire suppression systems, and improving emergency exits. These measures ensured the coliseum's compliance with current safety standards.

4. Modernizing Amenities

While preserving the coliseum's character, we also modernized its amenities to enhance the visitor experience. This included integrating state-of-the-art lighting, audiovisual systems, and climate control technologies without compromising the building's historic integrity.

5. Restoring Iconic Features

Notable features such as the coliseum's grand entrance, intricate decorative elements, and iconic dome were meticulously restored, breathing new life into the venue while respecting its past glory.
