Robinson Center Auditorium Renovation | Arkansas Commercial Photographer

This is not the Robinson anyone remembers.

For those of you who are reading this, you've probably visited Robinson Center Auditorium at some point in your life.

For me, my first visit to Robinson was back in 1997 for a concert to see Tori Amos.

For decades, Robinson hosted a wide variety of concerts and events ranging from the annual season of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra to Broadway Musicals. Downstairs in the Robinson Center Expo Hall hosted just as many events from monthly Rotary Meetings to Weddings Receptions.

Last week I had the opportunity to look inside and photograph the $68 million renovation of Robinson led by the design team of Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects of Little Rock and Ennead Architects of New York for Arkansas Business featuring a multi-photo, on-line slideshow.

Robinson is scheduled to reopen in fall 2016.
