Hopewell Theater and Baxter Construction Earn Master Design Awards from Qualified Remodeler Magazine for Theater renovation

(HOPEWELL, NJ) -- Hopewell Theater and Baxter Construction have been recognized for outstanding achievement in Qualified Remodeler’s Master Design Awards Contest. The silver was awarded for Hopewell Theater’s interior renovation project.  Hopewell Theater is a 135-year old state-of the-art, dine-in performing arts venue in Hopewell, NJ. Under the design direction of theater founder and executive director, Sara Scully, with Architect Robert Ceruti, Baxter Construction helped create a multi-purpose community entertainment space within the theater’s existing footprint. The project combined hand-crafted finishes with state-of-the-art technology. 

Baxter Construction carefully dismantled the interior down to the original brick and mortar walls and then began bringing the design to life. A vaulted ceiling with exposed struts, a new ticket booth, and caterer’s kitchen were new additions. Plus, new tiered banquets and a balcony space ensure every view is incredible. This renovation has also been recognized by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, winning the 2019 Regional CotY (Contractor of the Year) award.  Additionally, the New Jersey Business & Industry Association recognized this project with the New Good Neighbor award.

“Hopewell Theater patrons have come to value our venue because of its warm and welcoming design, a place where they can meet friends and get inspired,” says Sara Scully, theater Founder and Executive Director.  “Baxter Construction was indispensable to our reimagining the space during our design and build.” 

“Preserving history is a true community effort. It’s a privilege to have been selected to work on these projects and have the opportunity to give back to the community in which we live and work—and to create a design and structure that will be sustainable for generations to come.” Jim Baxter, President Baxter Construction 

Hopewell Theater offers a range of unique cultural experiences, from independent film and live music to guest speakers, artists and performances. Patrons can dine-in on small plates from local restaurants or just come for the show. Film buffs will particularly enjoy a state-of-the-art movie theater in Hopewell, NJ with a dine-in menu. A landing spot, a launch pad, and an incubator, Hopewell Theater is also a place where artists can play, practice, perform or show their passion project on the big screen. The theater is available to rent, at both hourly and day-rates.
