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 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."

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.

Good architecture design adds value, both aesthetically and functionally, and also leaves room for change - whether it is for the people it serves, the challenging facility demands of new technology, or how to create spaces that can evolve and still thrive decades into the future.  Check out our latest newsletter!
