Construction on the new Chautauqua Institution Amphitheater is moving forward and on schedule. The primary phase of the project is now entering its fourth month, with a significant number of construction milestones already complete. In November, crews completed installation of caissons and concrete caps in the front-of-house, completed front- and back-of-house load-bearing foundations, and began structural steel erection for the back-of-house. Chautauqua officials say they expect challenges during the upcoming winter, but add that the construction scheduled was designed with that in mind.
