Reading Borough Council says the Hexagon has been inspected and is safe to stay open.
The theatre, built in 1977 in the shape of a hexagon, will remain fully open, Reading Borough Council saidA large regional theatre is set to stay open despite the building containing potentially hazardous concrete.
Reading Borough Council confirmed reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete was used in the construction of the Hexagon in 1977. But it said inspections suggested there was no reason the venue should not remain "fully operational".The Hexagon, the Berkshire town's main theatre venue, was built when Raac was commonly used.
It is a cheaper and more lightweight than standard concrete but carries a risk of deterioration that can be potentially dangerous.
