Tanghalang Pambansa (CCP Main Building)
Built on reclaimed land in Manila Bay, the Tanghalang Pambansa, more commonly known as the CCP Main Building or the Theatre of Performing Arts, was designed by leading Filipino architect and National Artist, Leandro V. Locsin. It houses four theaters, a museum of ethnographic exhibits and a changing exhibit of Philippine art or ethnography, galleries, and a library on Philippine art and culture. It also houses the administrative offices and facilities of the CCP.[3]
In 2005, the Tanghalang Pambansa and the CCP Complex were refurbished ahead of the 112th General Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Manila, whose opening and closing ceremonies were to be held at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo. During the refurbishment, the marble façade of the Tanghalang Pambansa was cleaned and the marble trim, which was installed during its refurbishment in the 1990s, was replaced with travertine imported from Italy. During this particular repair, the building's main ramp was closed to traffic.[4]
The 2005 refurbishment also included the repair and upgrade of the Main Building's toilet facilities, the repair of its main fountain and lagoon, the installation of a new air-conditioning system, replacing the 36-year-old system which was installed in 1969, and the installation of new carpeting. The refurbishment also brought additional grounds lighting for the CCP Complex, upgraded interior roads, including one which enabled access to the Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard. The landscaping of the 88-hectare complex was also extensively re-done.
The Philippine International Convention Center, which is located in the CCP Complex and was opened in 1976 for the Manila Summit of the IMF-World Bank, was also extensively repaired and refurbished.
This costs of the refurbishment were shouldered by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, the offices of Senators Franklin Drilon and Francis Pangilinan, and Malabon-Navotas Congressman Ricardo Sandoval, the Department of Public Works and Highways, and the CCP.
