The Paramount Theatre is now ready for more shows, thanks to new seats and other associated work facilitated by GLTArchitects. See WJON article and video here.
The previous seats had been in place since the 1998 renovation, after they had been removed from Stewart Hall at St. Cloud State University and refurbished.   The new layout, increases seating capacity by over 100 while providing greater comfort to patrons.  GLTArchitects was also responsible for the design of the 1998 renovation of the Paramount Theatre.  To learn more about the original renovation project, please click here.

The beautiful seamless windows have been installed throughout the Guest House, along with the final details of the chimney, as the final boulders are being put into place! 

The Paramount Theatre may be in the dark, but not for long....
"The new seats aren't just about comfort (they are 3 inches taller and allow for cupholders) and aesthetics; more patrons can pack inside the theater. The installation will increase the seat number from about 700 to 806."

Exciting times as the frame work is going up and the new addition is starting to take form. 

The Roosevelt Boys and Girls Club Gymnasium Groundbreaking Celebration and Donor Appreciation Dinner ws held on May 7th. Designed by GLTArchitects, the new addition will include a 5,487 square-foot gym and 1,860 square feet of multi-purpose space and is scheduled to be completed by end of the year. GLTArchitects has a long-standing relationship with the Boys & Girls Club facility as well as a previous facilities addition in 2012. To learn more about the project, see here. 

GLTArchitects is working with the Stearns History Museum to create a conceptual design for the expansion of the current facility. The Museum has outgrown their current building and wants to provide additional space to house the Children's Museum, as well as a new larger exhibit hall for the History Museum. A smaller traveling Exhibit Hall/Art Gallery will also be included. A new large Atrium Lobby connects the existing building to the addition and will serve as a public event space. This concept plan was unveiled at the recent Annual Stearns History Museum fundraising event.

A groundbreaking event was hosted for the new expansion to the St. Cloud Hospital’s Gorecki Guest House.  With a generous donation from Benedict and Dorothy Gorecki the facility will be expanded from 12 to 28 guest rooms.  The addition will allow St. Cloud Hospital to offer more patients and family members a convenient home-like place to stay while receiving medical care.

GLTArchitects worked with Boser Construction to develop a preliminary design for an all new Minnesota Fishing Center. The center would be located in Little Falls, Minnesota and would include the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame and Minnesota Fishing Museum. The proposed design was unveiled at the Northwest Sportshow on March 28, 2015.

The CentraCare Health Gorecki Guest House provides patients and family members a convenient and comfortable place to stay while receiving medical care at the St. Cloud Hospital.  This 16-bed addition to the existing facility is scheduled to start construction in the spring of 2015 for a fall opening.  Working on design options with members of the neighborhood, this facility is designed to offer a homelike atmosphere and fit with the residential character of the adjacent homes.
