I'm not even sure what it is called now*, and I don't care. No matter how many times the name is changed, it will always be The O'Keefe Centre. Opened on Oct 1, 1960 and again on Oct 1 2010 after extensive renovations to restore some of the original features. Using money from the sale of beer to finance community development was a bit controversial at the time.
This modern, air conditioned Civic Auditorium built at a cost of 12 million dollars, contains a beautiful foyer, lounge rooms etc., and the main auditorium with a seating capacity of 3200, has adjustable acoustics and is designed for comfort.
*now the Meridian Centre, from the Sony Centre, from the Hummingbird Centre
