GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - After several years of planning and over $324,000, the renovations at the Hippodrome Theater are finally complete.
This includes renovations to the first and second floor lobbies, lighting inside and outside the building, new air conditioning and speaker systems.
The City of Gainesville’s Wild Spaces & Public Places and parks funded the renovations, complete with fresh paint and video monitors bringing a more modern look.
People can still expect to recognize some classic features, as none of the original surfaces were touched.
Facility manager Robert Robins says people have even more to look forward to when they finally do return.
“It’s going to be a totally different society when we go back into live performances but you know the buildings going to be here. The space is here, now performing arts center, a movie theater, and a gallery and rental spaces so I think that’s gonna be your other hundred years to come I hope,” Robins says.
Upcoming events include a video production of a show called The Revolutionist in February.
In April, they’re teaming up with the City of Gainesville to put on a cabaret on the front steps of the theater.
