Dr. Phillips Center Preview 1

We’ve been telling you about the work on new Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts being built in Downtown Orlando.

The first phase of the 330,000 square foot building will open tomorrow.

This phase includes two of the three main theaters, an outdoor plaza and performance space, an event space above Magnolia Ave, the main lobby, backstage area and classroom space.

The Dr. Phillips Center sits on two blocks bordered by Orange Ave and Rosalind St on the west and east and South St and Anderson St on the south and north.

Construction for the nine-acre project began in June 2011.

Here’s a rundown of the grand opening events for the Dr. Phillips Center:
