As a pre-qualified construction manager for the City's Capital Improvements program, Hennessy Construction Services was selected for renovation of the Mahaffey Theater. The demolition of Bayfront Arena in 2004 cleared the way for extensive improvements that will keep the 2000 seat performing arts center as a prominent free standing venue on the City’s waterfront.

The scope of work included renovation of approximately 95,000 square feet and replacement of the building’s mechanical, plumbing, fire protection and electrical systems. Two new 3-story showcase glass atriums highlight the south and east elevations. A 4,000 square foot addition provided a new lobby, new elevators, new stairwells and new public restrooms. The entire building received new roofing and exterior stucco skin. Work also included the addition of an elevator in the adjacent parking garage and improvements to the parking lot, sidewalks and landscaping.
