Scope Of Work
Gilbane provided construction management services for the restoration, expansion, and modernization of the 1929 historical landmark theatre in Brooklyn, NY. The restoration transforms the vacant theatre into a premier performing arts venue that serves as both a cultural hub and catalyst for economic growth in Brooklyn.
The team restored the significant, historic Front-of-House areas to their original grandeur while integrating the equipment, technology, and support spaces necessary to transform a classic movie palace into a venue suitable for hosting today’s live productions. The goal of balancing these preservation concerns with the creation of a modern performance facility was one of the most challenging aspects of the project. The design team met the Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for the Rehabilitation of Historic Structures for all restored areas, both interior and exterior.
