The New Centro San Juan Diego Center for The Denver Archdiocese will serve as a focal point for the burgeoning Hispanic population in this central Denver community.

This new facility is located in the historic 1897 Sacred Heart School. The Roybal Corporation has worked closely with The Archdiocese on this project through three significant phases and eight years to restore a Historic gem in the heart of this great Denver neighborhood.

The renovation of the existing 31,000 square foot facility provides much needed space for ministerial and educational services including classrooms, multipurpose rooms, and a library and cafeteria with conference room functions. Upgrades to the facility include total replacement of all building systems (HVAC, plumbing, and electrical), the installation of a new commercial kitchen, new toilet and shower facilities, additional office space for the Hispanic Institute, ADA access ramps and railings, and complete parking and landscaping upgrades. Planning for the project had to incorporate provisions for subsequent phases of the renovation, including the installation of an elevator shaft, and accommodations for providing updated HVAC and electrical services to the second floor. In addition to these technical concerns, the design and renovation processes were carefully crafted to facilitate the multiple functions required of the facility, and to provide modern services and amenities in a building that dates to the 1890’s, while maintaining the character of both building and neighborhood.
