Laverne Cox Celebrates PRIDE at Beverly Center
“Beverly Center has welcomed and supported the LGBTQ community since it opened its doors in 1982,” said Taubman Centers, Inc. Chief Executive Officer William S. Taubman. “This year, we are proud to be partnering with The Advocate to host the Champions of PRIDE event, as well as light the center in PRIDE’s signature rainbow colors.”
Beverly Center’s new lights were installed as part of the center’s $500 million reimagination that is scheduled to be completed by Holiday 2018. The newly installed exterior mesh, over which the lights are projected, covers 95,000 sq. ft. More than 670 custom projectors and over 34,000 LED diodes are able to create four billion colors – more than the human eye can distinguish.
This marks the first of many holidays Beverly Center plans to light the building throughout the year including July 4th, Halloween, winter holiday, Valentine’s Day and more.
