The Regent Theatre was constructed in 1919 by Norman McLeod Ltd, at a cost of $100,000. The King Street façade of the theatre was modeled on Georgian architectural lines and as such the architectural features are very symmetrical. The building is one of the few remaining examples in Oshawa of this classically inspired architectural style
After undergoing numerous renovations Â鶹´«Ã½ University purchased the theatre in November 2009. Reopened in September 2010, the Regent Theatre now functions as a large lecture theatre for students and for community and cultural events during the evenings and on weekends throughout the year.
In the summer of 2013 Â鶹´«Ã½ University commissioned the complete replacement of the ceiling structure and re-creation of the original historical plaster moldings which are now decorated in blue and gold.
