  • Theaters: Restoration, Revitalization & Adaptive Reuse
    Theaters PRE-CONSTRUCTION PLANNING & DESIGN RESTORATION CONSERVATION MURALS, MOSAICS & ART HERBST THEATRE, SAN FRANCISCO THEATERS ENRICH OUR COMMUNITIES At the foundation of urban revitalization intiatives you’ll often find theater restoration. Architectural art inspires, particularly in performance spaces—gateways to new perspectives, experiences, and emotions. EverGreene began preserving, conserving, and restoring historic performing arts venues over 40 years ago, and our passion continues to this day. We understand that the show starts the minute you walk through the door. Our dedication to excellence, commitment to cultural heritage, and emphasis on craftsmanship has enabled hundreds of theaters to bring entertainment and beauty back to their original splendor. ALTRIA THEATER, RICHMOND THEATER PORTFOLIO RESEARCH & INVESTIGATION Historic restoration and conservation projects begin with research, investigation, testing, and analysis. Identifying the original architectural decorations and understanding the reasons for aging or deterioration help determine the most appropriate treatments and guide budgets. SURVEYS & CONDITION ASSESSMENTS RESEARCH & DOCUMENTATION FINISHES INVESTIGATION PAINT STUDIES LINK PRECONSTRUCTION PLANNING & DESIGN Whether a plan exists or if you require help articulating your vision, our cross-disciplinary team collaborates flexibly to advance project scope, address aesthetic and technical concerns, and establish appropriate budgets and timelines. Design services may include concept development, original design, replicas of historic schemes, plus digital and three-dimensional mock-ups. Oftentimes our solutions allow theaters to remain open and operating while restoration and conservation take place. CUTLER MAJESTIC THEATRE, BOSTON PRECONSTRUCTION CONSERVATION In theaters, conservation and restoration often go hand in hand. Your custom plan may consist of first conserving existing elements, and then moving onto restoring what’s missing or damaged.
