肯尼迪中心将关闭两年,从2026年7月起进行翻修,尽管没有证据表明存在结构性问题,但工作人员大量裁减,业务极少。 The Kennedy Center will close for two years starting July 2026 for renovations, with major staff cuts and minimal operations, despite no proof of structural issues.

肯尼迪中心的总裁理查德·格雷内尔已经通知工作人员,计划在2026年7月开始为期两年的关闭期间大幅削减员工和"骨架"人员,大多数部门在2028年重新开放之前以最低容量运作. The Kennedy Center’s president, Richard Grenell, has informed staff of major workforce reductions and "skeletal" staffing during a planned two-year closure starting in July 2026 for renovations, with most departments operating at minimal capacity until reopening in 2028. 雇员面临长期或临时变动,部门主管将在关闭期间评估人员配置需求。 Employees face permanent or temporary changes, and department heads will assess staffing needs during the closure. Trump行政当局于2026年2月宣布进行翻修,尽管没有任何证据支持关于结构失修的说法,细节仍然有限。 The Trump administration announced the renovation in February 2026, though no evidence supports claims of structural disrepair, and details remain limited. 关闭与先前关于中心在工作期间将保持开放的承诺相矛盾。 The closure contradicts earlier promises that the center would stay open during work. 领导人说,它将提供预先通知,但是关于裁员、方案编制或项目范围的具体细节尚未提供。 Leadership says it will provide advance notice, but specifics on job cuts, programming, or project scope are not yet available.
