The demolition of the Atrium Hotel and Conference Center will begin on Friday, December 6, 2024.
That’s according to an official Monday press release by the City of Hutchinson, who said the demolition follows a process which began in August.
An August 20, 2024, city council resolution declared the property unsafe and dangerous and an October 1, 2024, city council vote moved forward with the demolition.
Demolition is being handled by Kansas Concrete LLC and is scheduled to be completed by the end of March 2025.
“The Atrium Hotel, once a key part of Hutchinson’s hospitality and conference industry, has deteriorated to the point where it no longer meets safety and building standards,” the press release read. “The City is committed to removing the hazard in an effort to make the community safer.”
While the City of Hutchinson will oversee the demolition process, it will not take ownership of the property at any point.
