The Sutherland Entertainment Centre has undergone the largest refurbishment in the building’s 45+ year history.
The scope of the works included: a complete strip out and demolition of the existing stage structure, construction of a large new stage with full fly tower, low height piling and excavation, and complex concrete, timber, and steel work. ADCO initiated a complete Fly Tower redesign which minimized temporary propping and facilitated programme gains, allowing completion risk to be minimised. 
The sequencing of the work was critical to ensure stability of the existing structure and safety. Materials handling systems had to be implemented and tightly controlled to avoid delays to the progress of the works. 
The result is a fully refurbished theatre with high-end finishes, revised tiered seating with capacity of 686, new Bars, Box Office, front of house amenities, new rehearsal areas and multi-function rooms. The Grand Foyer provides enhanced accessibility and services including 3 new lifts, and the new entry forecourt is a flexible outdoor event space. 
The completed standard of finish was high, and the management processes adopted provided for a successful outcome of this Project.
