Capitol 6
Victoria, B.C.
A classic of contemporary design
The Capitol Six Theatre in Victoria, B.C. opened its doors to the public Friday, June 26, to capacity crowds and by the end of August had entertained approximately 150,000 people in its six cinemas. Total seating in the theatre is 1,700 with 124 seats in the smallest auditorium and 550 in the largest which is equipped with Dolby Sound.
The architect — Daryl Jorgenson, contractor — Graham Construction and interior designer — Rudy Kovack also put together the Capitol Six Theatre in Vancouver which was completed in 1977. They are presently working on our new Capitol Four in Saskatoon which is expected to open in September 1982.

Lighting under the Manager’s office shines down on a ramp which winds up from the boxoffice and lobby on the ground level to the upper levels.
