Frank Theatres York, PA Update
April 8th, 2010 | Project Showcase | Darryl U, PA, Project Showcase, sound, theater, Tom R.
Here’s an updated on Frank Theatre in York, PA. This is a very popular project that is being followed on our blog so we wanted to post an update before the grand opening on the horizon. If you didn’t catch the first post, check out the beginning ICF construction of Frank Theatres.
We visited the theater last week with Chris P of Construction Supply Centers. They are progressing quite nicely now. The various aspects of finish work are well underway and it’s really starting to look like a theater now. Tim Boos, Project Manager with Warfel Construction said they had had some delays with the weather and were expecting to be ready to open the before the first week in June.
When walking through the individual theaters there is a unique “quietness” to them which is easily attributed to the mass of the insulating concrete forms walls. There was no need for any sort of spray foam on the walls dividing the individual theaters because of the use of Reward’s iForm. We would presume that was a significant savings in terms of labor and materials for the owners. The painters were in, touching up the main corridors and lobby area and there were contractors setting the big decorative columns in the main lobby. There’s a nice restaurant area in the front which will be an excellent convenience for the patrons of the theater.
We are looking forward to visiting the theater when it’s completed and excited for the Frank Theatre’s upcoming Grand Opening. Here are some follow up pictures with the exterior getting closer to completion, taken back in January.
See the the finished movie theater that is open now to the public!
