  • 2017 Annual Operating Budget City of Little Rock, Arkansas
    2017 Annual Operating Budget City of Little Rock, Arkansas First opened in February 1940 as the Joseph Taylor Robinson Memorial Auditorium, the Robinson Center Performance Hall and Conference Center reopened in November 2016. This followed a 28 month renovation and expansion of the facility. This $70.5 million project was financed by bonded funds provided by the existing 2% Little Rock Advertising & Promotion tax. The project was approved by Little Rock voters by special election on December 10, 2013. The design team was led by Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects of Little Rock and Ennead Architects of New York. CDI/Hunt Joint Venture served as the General Contractor and Construction Manager. The building was originally designed by the firm of Wittenberg & Delony working with Eugene Stern. The building was named for longtime Arkansas Senator Joseph T. Robinson, who died in July 1937, prior to the start of the construction in December 1937. The project was originally funded by the New Deal’s Public Works Administration. The building’s exterior and historic lobby were restored and the essential character of the landmark building enhanced. All of the interior spaces were rethought and reconfigured to provide enhanced acoustics, updated interior finishes, new media technology, dressing room upgrades, expanded loading dock and storage areas, expanded public lobbies and restrooms, onsite box office, a new centrally-located grand stair to link multiple lobby levels, new public drop-offs and parking garage vestibules and much more. A brand new conference center provides a flexible event space accommodating 530 people and four new meeting rooms above with direct access to a 5,477-square-foot terrace.

This is my son first year in public school, and I am enjoying being at the same school as my son. He is in the pre-k 3 year old program, and he loves coming to school each day. When I first filled out the paperwork during open enrollment I was nervous and scared, because he was only use to daycare not big boy school. My husband convince me that we was making the right decision, and to give it a try. I don’t want my child being bused to this school and that school all over Little Rock.
