BUILDING 3 – PHASE I RENOVATION

Construction Schedule: Completed December 2003

Funding Source: Measure C General Obligation Bond Funds

The theaters at Cañada College are an important revenue source. Both the Main Theater (550 seats) and the Flex Theater (35 -70 seats) are rented for events and performances, filling a community need.  Both theaters were in great need of renovation.  Neither facility was ADA compliant, nor up-to-date technologically.  As of January 2004, the main theater opened to display its upgrades: updated paint and floor finishes, renovated seats, a restructured stage, and sate-of-the-art technology to invite a more diverse leasing clientele.  As well, the Flex Theater was updated technologically, catwalks were renovated and a new retractable seating system was installed to offer flexibility.
