The project called for significant improvements to benefit their theatrical and live music performances in the auditorium. It included addressing the acoustics, audio, video, theatrical lighting and controls, HVAC noise, and house lighting. Likewise, the music spaces would gain better-quality acoustics and reduced mechanical noise. . Ashley McGraw architects contracted AVL Designs Inc. as their consultant for this project. Working with the team at Ashley McGraw and FS Engineering, plans were developed to radically change all these spaces. As with any renovation project, existing conditions can be a limiting factor. The school district had hoped to raise the fly space over the stage and to provide a catwalk in the auditorium. For a variety of reasons, these could not be accomplished so viable alternatives were developed. A motorized truss was installed in the auditorium allowing access to the theater lighting. The rigging system was replaced, allowing for safe operation on stage within the limits of the building height. To make loading and unloading of arbors easier, a brick house system was incorporated into this plan. Sidewall box torms* were added to assist with lighting areas in front of the stage that could not be reached using the truss. .A significantly enlarged control booth was added to allow audio, lighting, video control, and motorized spotlight control. This last item was required due to the room not having a location for manually operated spotlights. The follow-me system allows an operator in the booth to control motorized lighting fixtures utilizing a point-of-view camera to follow people on stage accurately. HVAC noise control was a challenge due to having reuse of some ductwork and chase locations within the building.
