The Century II Performing Arts and Convention Center will soon get a new roof structure and membrane to protect it from weather.
The project will happen in two phases. Phase one begins with staging, safety set up and the replacement of the top ring not visible from the ground. This phase will take approximately one month. Phase two begins in October, with the replacement of the visible roof with the insulation and custom blue membrane that attempts to maintain the
same signature blue color it has had since Century II was completed in 1969.
John Hale, General Manager of Century II said it was important to the City of Wichita that the building retain its original roof color, adding that several color samples were evaluated over the past several months. He said the project shouldn’t interfere with day-to-day activities, and Century II will continue to host a variety of events throughout the fall and winter.

The project is expected to begin next month and be completed in the spring of 2024.
