Hispanic Cultural Institute

Plans include a museum, a 150-seat theater and a broadcast TV and radio lab, among other amenities, a state-of-the-art theater to showcase music, dance and other performances by local Latino artists and companies, including the Raises Theatre Company and El Batey Dance Center. And a series of "learning labs" would host workshops and educational programs, designed in part to help address the educational attainment gap between Buffalo's white and minority students As of September 20, 2021, construction had been delayed, but now plans are moving forward again. Partial funding for the project has been obtained and an energy efficiency study is underway. Groundbreaking is not expected to take place until 2023, with an opening in 2024.
