Keeping it Modern: The Community Campaign
The Keeping it Modern: The Community Campaign was launched to preserve and reinvigorate one of Buffalo’s most treasured cultural and architectural landmarks. Over the course of several years and the help of the Western New York community we are in the process of repairing many of the necessary infrastructure systems, restore the hall’s renowned architectural features, refresh backstage spaces for musicians and staff, and seed Kleinhans’ first-ever endowment fund to provide perpetual income for continued preservation and increased community programming.
Campaign Projects:
- Architecture: Stage Refinishing｜Reflecting Pool｜Masonry & Concrete｜Music Library｜Dressing Rooms｜Administrative Offices｜Plaster Spans in the Balcony Ceiling｜Refinishing of Zebrawood & Wall Surfaces
- Artistic: House and Stage Lighting Systems｜ Audio/Visual Equipment｜Steinway Grand Piano
- Infrastructure: Accessibility & Wayfinding｜LED Exterior Lighting｜Roof Replacement｜HVAC & Air Handling Units｜Fire Alarm System｜Catwalk Fall Protection
- Endowment Fund: Routine Maintenance｜Community Programming
Thank you to our contributors!
