Tilles Center Renovations Continue

On July 20, 2004 officials from the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University surveyed the progress of renovations to Tilles Center for the Performing Arts. This renovation, the first since the center opened in 1981, will give an entirely fresh and modern look to Long Island’s premier cultural showplace. The renovation will include an atrium, outdoor plazas, an elegant entry as well as improved access to and from parking areas, especially for handicapped patrons.

The project has been designed by Mitchell/Giurgola Architects and the construction manager and contractors are Sullivan & Nickel Construction Company, based in Ronkonkoma.
