Project Description:  Vivacqua Hall is part of, and immediately adjacent to, the Liacouras Center.  With the opening of the Forum at the Liacouras Center, it was deemed important that improvements be made to Vivacqua Hall consistent with the new development.  The footprint of the building was expanded to the east and south to the edge of the then existing overhang.  In addition to the expansion of the retail establishments, the upgrade of the Temple entrance, and the addition of awnings and signage, improvements were made to the exterior plaza at this key intersection.  Plaza improvements included new paving, lighting and tree planting.
