Fall 2025 Expansion Update

Concept Review Open House with SO-IL

BMoCA hosted an Open House on Thursday, September 18, 2025 from 4:30 - 6:30pm that was free and open to the public. This event was an informal meet and greet event with our architect team from S0-IL (Florian Idenburg & Jing Liu). They brought initial concept drawings that were on display and the community was asked for feedback. The boards were on display in BMoCA's lobby on Friday, Saturday and Sunday after the Open House.

At left are the preliminary concept drawings that were shared. The first one shows three options for the layout of the creative campus, which will include the museum, live/work spaces and retail.

The second picture explores three options for the general layout (floors/entrances/footprint) for the museum.

The third picture shows where in North Boulder the project will be located.

The next steps involve refining both the campus and museum, which will be shared with the community and the city to start the permitting/approval process.
