Grand Theatre Renovations, Summer 2010

The Grand Theatre will be undergoing renovations from July 5 to September 4 to meet the new accessibility standards adopted by the City of Kingston. During this period the Grand will not be presenting any performances, but the box office will be open from Monday to Friday, noon to 5 p.m.

From July 27 to August 23, Box Office Sales Representatives may be reached by entering the Administration door to the left of the main theatre doors while the Box Office ticket counter is being made accessible. Patrons normally requiring wheelchair access are asked to call 613-530-2050 and a representative will be happy to assist you with your order, answer questions and arrange for ticket delivery.

The box office can also be reached by e-mail at: grandtheatre2@cityofkingston.ca.

The scope of work for this construction project includes, but may not be limited to, the following:

  • Enlarge and reconstruct washrooms on both the main and second floors to improve accessibility;
  • Remove and reconstruct/replace millwork at both the Bar and Coat Check;
  • Remove and renovate/replace the Box Office area to improve accessibility on both sides of the sales window;
  • Improve access to the second levels by removing and replacing the existing two stop lift and making modifications required to extend the second level open lift that provides access between the two upper levels;
  • Remove and replace existing pavers and sand / concrete base in the entrance walkway and courtyard to adjust the walkway slopes and improve accessibility;
  • Install an additional area drain at the lane entrance to eliminate a ponding issue;
  • Provide an alternate sanitary drain to Princess St. in the basement;
  • Provide miscellaneous modifications to door sill conditions, push button locations, handrail extensions and stair tread conditions to meet accessibility requirements and;
  • Provide mechanical and electrical modifications throughout the building as required to support the various items listed above.
