At center is a ramp known as the "elevated experience."

The Inlander got a sneak peek Thursday of the Pavilion, which is being transformed into a jaw-dropping facility with incredible views of downtown and the Spokane River. It's slated to open in mid-to-late September.

See our photos below.

The public lobby to the Pavilion is still under construction. Workers prepare the ground underneath the Pavilion; down front will be covered in concrete, with room for 1,700 people. At center is a ramp known as the "elevated experience." The ramp in the center takes you up 40 feet in the air and provides excellent views in all directions.
