Being able to capture the charm and elegance of the original Colony Theater while creating a modern entertainment space was the key goal.

Our services included architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural design and construction administration. Architectural design included design for a new concession area in the main lobby, modifications to the second floor lobby and rest rooms, a new pump room, and coordination with Copperleaf Interiors for material and color selections.

The project was partially funded through Ohio Historic Tax Credits as well as private donors. The theatre is a cornerstone of Marietta’s downtown community and recently was chosen as the location for Governor Kasich’s State of the State Address.
