Amphitheater Construction

On October 24, 2023, City Council authorized a contract with Bond Architects for architectural and engineering design services related to construction of a restroom facility and back of house improvements at the Chesterfield Amphitheater. Based on the cost estimate provided by Bond on May 30, the scope of the construction project was adjusted to focus solely on back-of-house improvements, including a new building located just south of the Amphitheater stage.

The proposed building will feature a fully furnished lounge with lake views for performing artists, complete with dressing rooms, bathrooms with showers, a kitchen with modern appliances and catering facilities, as well as a laundry area. The project also involves re-facing and extending the roof of the existing storage structure directly behind the stage, renovating the existing back of house facilities, and minor changes to the Main Circle Drive cul-de-sac that will provide better access for tour buses, delivery trucks, and additional room for parking of tour vehicles (buses, trucks, etc.).
