Los Alamos County is gearing up to renovate its county arena to address accessibility issues, seating capacity and building code requirements.
The Los Alamos County Council on Feb. 10 unanimously approved a task order with All-Rite Construction Inc. for a $2.8 million renovation of Los Alamos Brewer Arena at 4 N. Mesa Road.
A Wilson and Company Inc. 2024 assessment found the 20-year-old arena had structural damage on the pavilion, grandstand and announcer’s box, and its parking areas, pedestrian circulation routes and restroom facilities require upgrades to meet current accessibility standards, prompting the renovations.
All-Rite Construction Inc. will install a new grandstand and bleachers, do new concrete work, upgrade restroom facilities and replace the announcer’s booth and walkways leading to the announcer’s booth to address the issues identified in the 2024 assessment, Los Alamos County Council documents show.
In the task order and service agreement, the county requested All-Rite Construction Inc. complete construction and renovations by July 31, 2027.
Construction is anticipated to take 25 weeks, the documents show.
When the task order and service agreement were originally up for approval in October 2025, the goal was to have the arena fully renovated in time for the Los Alamos County 2026 Rodeo, the documents show.
Now, the goal is to have all site work, ADA restroom improvements, ADA parking and sidewalk upgrades for pedestrian circulation completed in time for the rodeo.
The arena’s previous grandstand and shade structure were demolished in November 2024, clearing the way for new construction to begin, a Los Alamos County press release shows.
