• Remove/dispose of the existing curtain and hardware at the back of the Great Hall where AV equipment is currently located.

• Design/build a new enclosed, elevated control booth to accommodate all new and existing AV equipment, racks, infrastructure, and controls organized above ceiling with appropriate hokes/trays or inside wall cavities. The new control booth must have one-way mirror/glass viewing directly to support the stage/various events. Install new door with PIV reader.

• Provide six (6) executive fully upholstered soft wingback seats and three (3) side tables. The design team must provide a minimum of three (3) unique furniture styles, allowing customers to choose or customize the finish selection.

All other infrastructure:

• Demolish and remove existing HVAC system.

• Design and install completely new code-compliant purpose-designed HVAC system for intended use of the space. HVAC cooling source must have redundancy (e.g., dual circuit DX unit)

• Install any required exterior equipment (e.g., chiller, condenser, glycol cooler) adjacent to auditorium condenser (optional: may be placed on roof; designer must recommend location).

• Replace existing condenser fence enclosure with new faux-masonry wall that encloses all outdoor equipment and aesthetically blends with existing architecture.

• Connect new HVAC system to existing Siemens BAS and program.

• Except for BAS connection, separate Great Hall cooling entirely from FPB cooling system; Great Hall must have completely independent cooling system.
