CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 The Hilliard Center is set to undergo nearly $4 million in renovations as Corpus Christi leaders move forward with a project aimed at improving the facility and enhancing the experience for visitors.<\/p>\n
The rehabilitation project will focus on several upgrades throughout the arena, including improvements to the venue’s lounge suites and a complete remodel of the second-floor restrooms. City officials say the renovations are designed to modernize the facility while protecting an important source of revenue generated by the center.<\/p>\n
According to Corpus Christi Director of Engineering Services Jeff Edmonds, the suite areas play a major role in the venue’s financial success.<\/p>\n
“The suites produce a significant amount of revenue. They make about a million dollars a year on those suites,” Edmonds said. “We also use that area to kind of showcase the city, so it’s important to put our best foot forward.”<\/p>\n
Officials say the improvements will help maintain the Hilliard Center’s appeal for guests, event organizers and corporate clients who use the facility throughout the year.<\/p>\n
The Hilliard Center hosts a variety of events, including concerts, sporting events, conventions and community gatherings. City leaders believe the upgrades will help ensure the venue remains competitive while providing a better experience for visitors.<\/p>\n
Construction is expected to continue through the remainder of the year, with the project scheduled for completion by December.<\/p>\n
