As part of an ongoing, five-year renovation project at the iconic music venue, the roof that covers the amphitheater’s main stage was being hydraulically lifted 20 feet over a period of months when it unexpectedly collapsed.

This gave Costello Construction just 111 days to rebuild the roof in advance of the 2018 concert season. Our team worked around the clock on this near impossible timeline to ensure the project’s timely completion.

The new roof now covers the pavilion’s side section seats and features two retractable roofs. Additional upgrades include all new pavilion seats, a bigger and improved lighting booth, and improved acoustics.

In an effort to maintain the pavilion’s history, pieces of wood from the original roof were integrated into the design of the new roof and are now featured on its facade.

This project is a testament to Costello’s unwavering dedication to its commitments. We are proud to have been part of the team that helped bring Merriweather Post Pavilion back to life.
