Lincoln Center on Monday broke ground on a $335 million project that will transform the campus into an accessible performance arts park.

The redeveloped Damrosch Park will be centered around the Baron Theater, a 2,000-person outdoor venue that will be Lincoln Center's first new freestanding theater in 50 years, and an inviting open plaza surrounded by gardens, groves, and a new water feature.
