Chautauqua Institution Moves Forward with Amphitheater Construction Project

JAMESTOWN – Another hurdle has been cleared in the effort to construct a new multi-million dollar amphitheater at Chautauqua Institution.

Last week Chautauqua’s Board of Trustees voted to move forward with its Amphitheater renewal project and authorized the Institution staff to award the construction contract to LPCiminelli, Inc., of Buffalo, which will serve as the project’s construction manager.

The Board also approved the final design of the renewed Amphitheater, a state-of-the-art facility that honors the look and feel of the original structure, a requirement Chautauquans emphasized throughout the four years of community input to the project.

The project cost will be $41.5 million, which includes contingency funds for changes that may arise during the construction process.   Construction will begin in early February and continue, but will pause for the 2016 season, then resume in the fall. A grand opening of the renewed Amp is slated to take place prior to the start of Chautauqua’s 2017 season.
