Miami Dade College resumed management of the Tower Theater in Little Havana on 1 November. The Calle Ocho cinema turns 100 in December and is expected to reopen in early 2027, once work on the building is complete.
The college says the refurbishment will include an acoustically transparent Cine LEDMAX screen from LOPU Tech, alongside upgrades to performance equipment and public areas. A firm reopening date has yet to be announced.
Miami Film Festival will run the venue. Its plans include film screenings, live performances and space for local cultural and community groups.
