The renovation of Salt Lake City’s historic Capitol Theatre updated the venue for continued performing arts use while retaining its established theater function. Project improvements included audience seating and sightlines, lobby and patron amenities, and connections to the adjacent Ballet West addition.

Reaveley Engineers provided structural engineering for modifications within the existing masonry, concrete, and steel building. The drawings detailed shotcrete strengthening at existing masonry walls, new concrete shear-wall connections, localized floor framing, and support for orchestra-pit lift equipment. Additional work addressed stage-edge alterations and mechanical-equipment support. These targeted interventions accommodated changes to the theater’s performance and support spaces while working with the existing structure and its varied construction.
