Abstract

Starz Encore, owned by Liberty Media Corporation in Douglas County, Colorado, is the largest provider of cable and satellite-delivered movie channels in the United States. The owner wanted the design of the Starz Encore office and technology center to match the neoclassic style and cut-granite cladding of the smaller Liberty Media Headquarters, located in the same corporate campus. The major challenge for Barber Architecture of Denver, Colorado, was to create a complementary design and finish for the larger 308,000 sq ft (28600 m 2 ) Starz Encore building - but with a much tighter budget. A number of project intangibles dictated that planning and design for the Starz Encore building progress concurrently with ongoing development for 24-hour media services. Barber Architecture worked closely with broadcast-uplink system designers to understand their technical requirements while developing an economical all-precast concrete system that would simulate a fine stonework finish while maintaining the classical architectural theme of the campus master plan.
