Designed originally by Philip Johnson, JCJ lead the team for the first thorough renovation of the house. The improvements include: refurbishment of the 2,675 seat auditorium, including new seats prepared for seatback titling systems; expansion and creation of an operable orchestra pit; replacement of the stage lighting system and addition of several new lighting positions in the auditorium; creation of a media center to allow for recording and broadcast; and replacement and upgrades to the finishes in the lobbies. ADA accommodations, mechanical electrical upgrades, and renovations to the dressing rooms are also included.
