The interior finishes were worn out, the theatre systems were obsolete, the catwalks were unnavigable, and the support spaces were no longer able to keep up with the growing fine arts curriculum. The room was completely reshaped, new catwalks were designed into the exiting maze of roof steel, new and larger support spaces were designed and all the theatre systems were upgraded.

Services: Theatre Rigging
TSG Design Solutions, Inc. worked with Atkins Global to modernize the stage rigging system at the Miami Dade College Lehman Theatre. The installation, by InterAmerica Stage, Inc. took an old wire guided stage rigging system that was deemed unsafe during a safety inspection and replaced it with a new, fully motorized stage rigging system. The proscenium arch was rebuilt to accommodate a new motorized fire safety curtain, and the manual stage rigging was replaced with twenty-eight ETC Vortek Hoists controlled by an ETC Foundation Rigging Controller. The new stage rigging system allows for more creative control and operational safety.
