Take a look inside the new summit complex atop Pikes Peak as architects close in on completing construction. (Video by Katie Klann)
Update: Pending weather and construction progress, the Pikes Peak Summit Complex is set to open June 24. A ribbon-cutting is planned for June 30.
Knowing his Colorado Springs firm, RTA Architects, would not be able to undertake the project alone, Stuart Coppedge sought partners at GWWO Architects, experts in structures for national parks. In the spring of 2015, Coppedge flew to Baltimore to dine with the team and talk about a new visitor center at 14,115 feet.
It would be a logistical nightmare, the architects agreed.
