The BioRex theatre facilities were updated to meet today’s requirements in Vaasa. The renovation was completed in two phases. In the first phase two old auditoriums were renovated. The old auditoriums received a facelift by updated seating and interior finishes. The sound systems and screens were modernized as well. The old acoustic elements of the auditoriums were utilized by reconstructing them into dashing wall mounted light fixtures. In the second phase three old auditoriums were replaced with four new modern ones.
