The Walker Cinema has undergone a complete renovation. The new, state-of-the-art Cinema opened to the public on June 22, 2012 and features projection, sound, and seating improvements. Renovations were designed by John Cook of the Minneapolis-based architecture firm HGA.

Upgrades, which began in January with a 4K DCP digital projector and Dolby 3D capabilities, were finished in May and June with Meyer EXP sound system, Kinoton dual projectors for 16- and 35-millimeter film, new upholstered seats, and enhanced sound treatments for the entire room. Renovations were funded by a $1 million grant from the Bentson Foundation, which will also allow the Walker to digitize and present selected films in its Ruben/Bentson Film and Video Study Collection.
