The Nimoy is a 299-seat, 10,500-sq-ft venue with a versatile performance space, including 150 permanent seats and flexible configurations for up to 299 attendees. The 35-ft-wide stage has an adjustable depth. A modern line array audio system provides superior sound quality and even coverage throughout the venue, while an LED-based performance lighting system offers energy efficiency and customizable effects. Other renovation highlights include an expanded lobby, a bar, lounge areas and gender-inclusive restrooms.

To reinforce the original 1940s-era structure’s integrity while also preserving its historic facade, the project team utilized modern materials and techniques that did not alter the building’s appearance but provided the necessary support for the new design.

Creating a versatile performance space with flexible seating was another significant challenge. The solution involved installing pneumatic seating risers that could be easily reconfigured to accommodate various seating arrangements, from cabaret tables to standing-room spaces. Advanced energy modeling provided a comprehensive understanding of the building's energy use, leading to the implementation of submeters for all end uses, including lighting, HVAC and fan power. Crews completed work within budget and on time in September 2023.
