An award-winning architecture and interior design studio with 25 years of expertise in architecture for arts and entertainment venues created the Zeiterion renovation plan.
A committee chose Wilson Butler Architects of Boston from among the respondents to a request for proposals. “They’ve got really solid experience in historical theaters,” said Rosemary Gill, the Z president and CEO.
