r4 Architects has been selected for design and construction services to develop the Liberty Firearms Institute described as a local gun Disneyland coming to the 2534 Development in Johnstown, CO. USA Liberty Arms, the company behind the institute, is under contract to purchase a 29,359 acre lot, on which developers will construct a 100,000 square foot building, with approximately half the space dedicated to retail, the restaurant, classrooms, office space and member services, and the rest devoted to a fifty-sixty lane shooting range. Considered one of the largest facilities of its type in the country, “Liberty Firearms Institute is a unique retail, educational and entertainment experience for everyone, not just the firearms and hunting enthusiast.
Liberty Firearms Institute will not only provide a wide selection of guns, accessories and outdoor gear but also a full restaurant, multiple classrooms for training and education and a state of the art underground shooting range, all within a completely indoor, fully secure, environmentally safe and virtually noise-free facility.”
The building will sit at the intersection of Thompson Parkway and, appropriately enough, Ronald Reagan Boulevard in Johnstown, Colorado. Construction is expected to commence in March of 2014. Check back for updates during construction of this exciting project!
