PLATTSBURGH — Champlain Centre has launched a major project to upgrade the aesthetics and provide a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for guests. “It’s quite an extensive renovation,” said David Napolitan, general manager of Champlain Centre. “It was a decision made by our management team to continue to maintain a first-class facility to provide a relaxed and comfortable shop-

ping environment for our customers.” The project, which started earlier this month, will encompass both interior and exterior elements. On the interior, the mall will replace its 59,000 square feet of ceiling tile, add architectural features within ceiling openings and install new decorative lighting. The common area will receive a new paint scheme, acquire soft seating areas and new benches and updated columns with a new design.

For the exterior, the mall will be introducing a new paint scheme at all of its entrances, enhancing pylon signs and improving landscaping in numerous ways. The men’s restroom will be remodeled similar to the ladies restroom, which was remodeled last year. They hope to get the renovations completed by year end. If they’re not able to, Napolitan said, it will be completed in its entirety early next year. The mall will remain open during the renovation process.

“We’re hoping to not have too much construction going on between Black Friday and Christmas,” said Eva Sarachan, the mall’s marketing director. “We also hope that the renovations will bring a welcoming and inviting atmosphere for our customers.” Napolitan declined to discuss project costs, along with what the mall plans on doing with its open store space. Currently, Champlain Centre is anchored by Regal Cin- Champlain Centre launched a major project to provide a more emas, Target, Best Buy, Sears, comfortable and enjoyable experience for guests. >> Story Continued | pg. 4
