This community “black box” theater is a fully equipped professional theater with fly tower, complete rigging, lighting and sound systems and a high end finished 7,000 sf gathering lobby. The orchestra pit was constructed below water table. Specialty acoustical treatments at walls and ceilings as designed by Robert H. Tanner P.E. Acoustical Engineer were installed. The outdoor theatrical area is coupled to municipal hardscape for Fifth Avenue South. An extensive structural systems consultation was required to balance cost with unique structure configuration. The tight downtown site requiring focused logistics plan, phased deliveries, and extensive pedestrian safety plan and accelerated construction due to design delays preserved completion of construction to six days ahead of original schedule. A savings of over $19,000 was obtained by using the Direct Material Purchase program.
