Story

 Completed in December of 2006, this new 107,000 SF 19 screen movie theater at The Rim development boasts an Imax auditorium and an extremely high end interior and exterior finish package.  The Greek theme required use of Fiberglass cornice work for the pediments outside, framed by six 44 foot tall, 3 1/2’ foot diameter fluted columns that tower over the stained concrete entry walks.  The interior continues the theme with more than a dozen Greek columns decorating an open lobby.  In addition to the standard first floor concessions and game room, the lobby also contains a gelato / coffee bar and full service restaurant.  The full service bar on the second floor mezzanine overlooks the highly decorated lobby.  The array of high end interior finishes include 21 paint colors, 36 different styles and colors of ceramic and porcelain tile, wood flooring, granite counter tops, ornamental metal railings, and pressed tin ceilings.  During the final months of construction all trades adapted to numerous changes and held the pace with crews sacrificing long hours 7 days a week. The Palladium Theater currently ranks among the top 10 cinemas in the nation.
