Denver’s Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art is now under construction in the Golden Triangle Museum District!
DenverInfill stopped by the site at 12th and Bannock last weekend to check out the beginning of construction activities. A groundbreaking ceremony was held back in September. For more information on this exciting project, please check our Update #1 post or visit the Kirkland’s project web page.
Here’s the latest rendering, courtesy of the Kirkland Museum:

This first photo shows the Bannock and 12th Avenue corner where work on the new Kirkland Museum is underway. The tower crane in the background is for the Eviva Cherokee apartment tower on the other side of the block.
Taking a peek behind the fence we see that excavation work is just getting started:
We’ll keep you posted as construction continues through 2016. The new Kirkland Museum is scheduled for completion in 2017.
