The Duke Energy Performing Arts Center is seeking bids for a $10 million renovation project this summer.
General Manager Jim Lavery says the center needs to upgrade the women's restrooms, lighting throughout the building, paint, wallpaper, and the concession stand area. The money comes from Raleigh's General Debt Service fund.
"If you do 6-700 events a year, there's something going on every day. Our weekends are really, really full," Lavery says. "We're just trying to bring everything back to where it needs to be just because of the usage."
This project comes on the heels of a $7 million HVAC renovation.
