GAYLORD ROCKIES EVENT PAVILION
Aurora, Colorado
The Event Pavilion is a custom-designed venue featuring 9,500 square feet of interior space, supported by 2,600 square feet of pre-function area and a 2,000 square foot warming kitchen. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, the interior opens onto multiple terraces, providing over 12,000 square feet of expandable entertainment space.
The architectural centerpiece is a massive standing-seam barrel vault supported by curved glulam members spanning nearly 75 feet. These members terminate into custom-designed steel pin connections that anchor the structure. A continuous skylight traces the roofline, descending to meet a dual-sided fireplace that serves both the interior and exterior hearths. Oriented due west, the Pavilion frames the Rocky Mountains, utilizing the picturesque landscape as a natural backdrop for weddings and conferences.
