City of El Paso
Plaza Theatre and Performing Arts Centre
El Paso, Texas

ECM International was selected as project manager, by the City of El Paso, for the $38 million restoration and expansion of the Plaza Theatre. This atmospheric theatre, which opened in 1930, is registered by the Secretary of the Interior as a Historic Place of National Significance and is also listed on Save America’s Treasures.

The decision to undertake this project by the City of El Paso and the El Paso Community Foundation required the selection of experienced and qualified consultants to design and construct this project.

Martinez and Johnson, a nationally renowned architectural firm with expertise in historic restoration was selected as the project architect. ECM was selected as the project manager to coordinate the design, bidding, construction and environmental remediation of this project. This project has required extensive coordination between subcontractors and restoration trades to assure that areas to be saved are not damaged, but yet allows for restoration of other areas in rehabilitated zones. ECM’s project management program has resulted in the timely delivery of all project phases and provided the City with accurate reporting for this high publicity venue.
