Wheaton College Performing Arts Center

For this project, we assisted the general contractor with the demolition of the half of the old building and were an integral part of creating the new space. With the Performing Arts Center, the key was flexibility – every system needed to allow an outside vendor to come in, connect their own equipment, and put on a show for the audience. Along with this flexibility in the back of house space, the auditorium needed to dampen sound, light several performance set ups, and provide a comfortable space for audiences to enjoy the arts. With our team, the project was completed in about 12 months.
