The complex is part of 500,000 sf of space dedicated to the arts in this river city of 200,000 residents. RiverCenter resulted from a 1993 effort to improve the city's Downtown tourism development. Columbus is 100 miles south of Downtown Atlanta.
Scheduled to occupy RiverCenter next year are the 150-seat Studio Theatre, the 450-seat Legacy Hall and the 2,000-seat Heard Theatre, home of the Columbus Symphony.
Columbus raised more than $100 million, largely in local funds, to improve the city's tourism image. The state provided $17 million in bond allocations. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources owns the new facility.
