I have heard from a lot of people that have seen photos of the current Horizon Stage Renovation that it is a lot more extensive than they thought it would be. Our motto right now: 'there's no turning back now,' as these photos go to show. The three major areas of renovation include:
The StageHere the seating is gone, the risers they were seating on nothing but a pile of rubble on the thrust of the stage. The flooring has also begun to be ripped up.
The LobbyThe first thing patrons see when they enter our facility is the lobby. Suffering from years of high traffic and an aged appearance, our beloved lobby is getting a much needed facelift.
The Dressing RoomsThough most patrons have never seen our dressing rooms, they too have suffered from years of use. Being a joint space, used by both our renters and the SGCHS drama department, the dressing rooms were in dire need of a little renovation.
As you can see in these photos, there is no turning back now. We look forward to the exciting future that these new renovations will bring us.
As we are replacing the previous collapsible seating, the old concrete base needed to be ripped up in order to replace it with a reinforced concrete floor appropriate for the weight of the new permanent fixed concrete risers.
As a bonus, removing the floor in this area also gave us the chance to replace some of the conduit and wiring running through the area.
The lobby has been completely gutted, right down to the concrete floor, and the exposed structure and mechanical in the ceiling.
