Hamilton Wenham Regional High School Auditorium Feasibility Study Hamilton, Massachusetts

Introduction

The Hamilton-Wenham Regional School District commissioned Dore & Whittier Architects, Inc. to provide a feasibility study for the renovation of the Ferrini Dramatics Center (Auditorium) located at the Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School. The objective of the Feasibility Study was to:

1. Inspect and evaluate the existing condition of the auditorium. 2. Develop programming for future needs. 3. Provide conceptual design options with cost analysis to meet goals of the school and

community.

Brief History

The Margaret D. Ferrini Dramatics Center is located within the Hamilton Wenham Regional High School. The building was constructed in 1962 with renovations in 1999 when the middle school was relocated to the high school site. However the auditorium did not undergo any renovations at that time. The auditorium is a heavily used space, both by the school and the community. The school has a strong performing arts program. The space is also used for an annual state HS drama festival, dance recitals, musicals, band and choral concerts, and other uses. There is interest from outside theater and performance groups to rent the facility if it were equipped adequately. Renovating the space into a state of the art facility would allow the district to generate revenue by renting out the space to outside groups while providing a quality performance space for its students and the town. To begin the process, the School Superintendent applied to the Hamilton-Wenham Education Fund for a School Grant Program to fund this feasibility study. The information from this study will then assist the school district and Friends of the Arts to spearhead a capital fundraising campaign.

Documentation

This report is based on information gathered by visual observations of the building and site reviewed by Dore & Whittier Architects, Inc. and its consultants in October/November 2009, existing building drawings, discussions and input from school staff and administration.

Executive Summary

This Feasibility Study is intended to provide an independent assessment on the auditorium located in the Hamilton Wenham Regional High School. The Dore and Whittier team visited the school in October and November of 2009 to review space utilization, existing conditions and to discuss future needs. Meetings with the study committee, consisting of district and school administration, and members of the School Committee, Hamilton-Wenham Education Fund, Friends of the Arts and the Hamilton Economic Committee, provided us with invaluable input and feedback on information gathered. Auditorium needs vary slightly between use groups but they are all affected by limited/outdated equipment and technology, life safety and accessibility requirements and performance space standards developed over the past 50 years. For the purposes of this study the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) Educational Program Space Standards and Guidelines DRAFT dated May 2006 was utilized as a comprehensive benchmark for square footage allowances. Built in 1962, the auditorium is outdated, yet utilized by the elementary, middle and high schools and community groups. Space issues include:

• Undersized Auditorium - Existing: 4,265 SF seating area with 580 existing seats, 8 of which are broken, 6 are designated for handicap accessibility (MSBA: 4,800 SF)

• Undersized Stage - Existing: 2,245 SF (MSBA: 2,800 SF) • Control Room • Undersized stage manager’s office • Lack of sufficient light lock between the main lobby and seating area • Lack of storage, dressing rooms and scene shop

Auditorium infrastructure issues include:

• Lack of handicap access throughout the seating area and to the stage from within the auditorium

• Outdated HVAC and electrical systems • Outdated stage rigging • Outdated sound systems • Outdated seating

Programmatic issues were assessed to determine future needs in the auditorium. The Program Criteria established is:

• 700-800 seat capacity • ADA/MAAB Accessibility • Mechanical and Electrical Systems upgrade • Theatrical Upgrades (lighting, sound system, acoustics, stage rigging, full-fly loft stage) • Support Spaces (Scene shop, dressing rooms, storage)

Three options were then developed, proposing to accommodate current and future needs of the district with additions and some renovations. The options presented are:

Dore & Whittier Architects, Inc. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Section II - Page 1


Dore & Whittier Architects, Inc. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Section II - Page 2

Renovation Option - Infrastructure Upgrades: This option looked at renovating the existing auditorium by addressing the infrastructure needs only. After accommodating handicap accessibility issues, the seating capacity is approximately 530. Space issues were not addressed without impacting other spaces within the existing school building. Therefore it was not considered as a viable option for consideration. The project cost for this option was estimated at $4.5M. Option 1 Additions and Renovations: This option addressed both space and infrastructure needs with additions to and renovations of the existing space. A balcony with stair and elevator access was proposed to meet a more desired seating capacity of 730 and house the control room. The project cost for this option was estimated at $6.8M. Option 2 New Auditorium: This option proposes a new auditorium to address both space and infrastructure needs. Control room and seating for 800 are accommodated on the main floor. The project cost for this option was estimated at $8.9M. The Feasibility Study is the initial step in identifying and addressing needs for the auditorium space. Once the district obtains funding for a preferred option, the conceptual plans will be revisited to create detailed drawings and move forward into a construction project.

ARCHITECTURAL ASSESSMENT

Hamilton Wenham Regional High School Margaret D. Ferrini Dramatics Center

The Margaret D. Ferrini Dramatics Center is the auditorium located within the Hamilton Wenham Regional High School. The HS building was constructed in 1962 with renovations in 1999 however the auditorium did not undergo any renovations at that time. The auditorium is a heavily used space, both by the school and the town. The school has a strong performing arts program with involvement of approximately 150 students. The space is used for an annual state HS drama festival, dance recitals, musicals, band and choral concerts, and other uses. There is interest from outside theater and performance groups to rent the facility if it were equipped adequately.

Although the space is utilized by many, it is not rented out to protect the equipment and due to other issues detailed in this study. Renovating the space into a state of the art facility would allow the district to generate revenue by renting out the space to outside groups while providing a quality performance space for its students and th

Existing Conditions and Recommendations The auditorium is comprised of multiple areas: backstage/stage, seating area, mezzanine area, and auxiliary spaces. Backstage/Stage The backstage and stage area is approximately 2,245 SF. The backstage walls are CMU block walls and painted black. Equipment is either school owned, borrowed or rented as required for the current performance. Refer to the audio visual assessment and electrical assessment for more information. Some equipment is located stage right and there is little space for storage of scenery, let alone creation of scenery, on either side of the performance area. There is no direct access from the exterior to the stage to easily load items for productions. One must go through the school and access the backstage off a corridor or use emergencyegress doors located at the front of the stage.

Smoke vents located at the back wall of the stage were boarded up at some point. The stage requires multiple smoke hatches with a total venting area of not less than 5% of the stage floor area. At 2,245 SF of stage (including all areas of the stage, both in front of and behind the proscenium wall), this would require approximately 112 SF. These vents are required to be roof vents, so the existing back wall vents could not suffice even if restored. The alternative is a smoke control system for the auditorium. This would be a more costly option to install if a new one is required.

Ideally the space would have a “full fly house” to completely hide scenery during a performance. The rigging system is a counterweight system that is original to the building and has outlived its useful life.

There are no dressing rooms for the theater. The toilet rooms off the adjacent corridor are often used however this is not ideal since these are also the restrooms for public use during performances. The music room located just behind the stage is sometimes used as a make-shift dressing room during performances. All scenery rooms, dressing rooms, and prop storage spaces require 1 hr separations. The rating of doors and walls at the stage storage room that connects to the Music room should be verified; CMU walls will likely suffice, however doors and frames may require replacement if a renovation occurs. The space does not have an orchestra pit and would be a costly feature to retrofit into the space if desired.

STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT Hamilton Wenham Regional High School Auditorium

Purpose The purpose of this report is to broadly describe the Auditorium structure, comment on the existing structure, comment on the structural integrity of the Auditorium and comment on the structural code issues related to the future renovation and expansion of the Auditorium. Scope

1. Describe the existing structure of the Auditorium. 2. Evaluate the structural integrity of the Auditorium. 3. Comment on the existing condition. 4. Discuss the primary structural code issues that would influence the renovations of the

Auditorium. Basis of the Report This report is based on visual observations during our site visit on October 29, 2009. As of this writing, there are no drawings or documents regarding the Auditorium structure available for review. During our site visit, we did not remove any finishes; therefore, our understanding of the structure is limited and may have to be further refined as the design evolves. Building Description The auditorium is part of the Hamilton Wenham Regional High School located on Bay Road in Hamilton, Massachusetts. The auditorium was constructed in 1962, at the same time as the High School, and is integral with the structure of the school. The High School was renovated in 1999, but, the Auditorium was not part of that renovation project. The Auditorium is essentially a double height, single story structure with a partial mezzanine that is used for storage and as a projection booth. The stage floor and the sloped floor of the Auditorium are most likely concrete slabs-on-grade. The foundations are probably continuous reinforced concrete footings supporting the load bearing masonry wall around the Auditorium structure. The roof of the main Auditorium is gypsum plank supported on long span steel bar joists spanning along the width of the Auditorium between un-reinforced masonry walls. The roof above the stage is at the same elevation as the main roof and is also gypsum plank spanning between wide flange steel beams and columns. The structure of the mezzanine floor was not exposed. This mezzanine floor is probably designed as a cantilevered structure from the back wall of the Auditorium with the adjacent low roof framing being the back span for the cantilevered framing.

Engineers Design Group, Inc. STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT Section III - Page 5

Hamilton Wenham Regional High School Auditorium Feasibility Study Hamilton, Massachusetts Existing Conditions Based on our observations, we concluded that the Auditorium structure is performing satisfactorily. No signs of apparent structural distress or foundation settlement were observed. Primary Structural Code Issues Related to the Existing Structure If any repairs, renovations or additions are made to the structure, a check for compliance with 780 CMR, Chapter 34 “Existing Structures” of The Massachusetts State Building Code is required. The intent of 780 CMR, Chapter 34 is to permit repairs, alterations, additions and/or a change of use without requiring full compliance with the code for new construction. At this time, we understand that the potential scope of the renovations to the Auditorium range from simply performing essential ADA related renovations that would be limited to the Auditorium floor and which would entail minimal structural modifications; to the construction of a new balcony and fly-space structure above the stage. If the scope of renovations is such that the impact to the structure is minimal, the LEVEL OF WORK on the existing structure would be classified as LEVEL 1 WORK as defined in Chapter 34 of The Massachusetts State Building Code, and, in this case, no structural upgrades to the structure would be required. If the scope of renovations is such that it is classified as at least LEVEL 2 WORK, as defined in Chapter 34 of The Massachusetts State Building Code, the following structural issues have to be addressed for the Auditorium structure and that portion of the school structure integral or connected to the Auditorium structure and impacted by the renovations.

1. Identify load path (or lack thereof) to the foundation for gravity and lateral loads. 2. Evaluate the existing structural elements or systems that may be need of repair or other

remedial action and determine the character and extent of the repairs or remedial action. 3. Determine the net service live load capacity at areas where there are structural changes to

floors or roofs. 4. Determine the live load capacity of the existing roof structure and verify whether it can support

the minimum snow loads as required by Chapter 34 of The Massachusetts State Building Code.

5. Determine the lateral load capacity of the existing structure relative to lateral load resistance required for the level of work to be performed, and, determine what is needed to provide the required lateral load resistance.

6. Determine and evaluate the connectivity of the various structural elements. 7. Determine the existence of anchors connecting floor and roof decks to concrete or masonry

walls, and, if they exist, evaluate their ability to provide lateral support to walls and transfer in-place shear from decks to the plane of the walls.

8. Determine the lateral supports of all structural and non-structural masonry walls and provide details.

9. Evaluate existence of brittle connections of precast concrete cladding components.




Any deficiencies noted after evaluation of the items noted above would have to be rectified in the case of the building being renovated. Specifically, in this case, and from our investigation and study, we have determined the following relative to the 9 points listed above:

1. The load path for gravity loads has been determined and is described under Building Description. The lateral loads are resisted by the un-reinforced masonry walls around the Auditorium.

2. We were not able to identify all areas that may be in need of repair, an investigation is required to identify these areas.

3. This will be determined during the design phase of the project. 4. This will be determined during the design phase of the project. 5. An in-depth analysis would be required to determine the lateral load capacity of the structure

and this can be conducted at the time of renovations to the Auditorium. 6. This can be verified when a thorough investigation is conducted. 7. This can be verified when a thorough investigation is conducted. 8. This can be verified when a thorough investigation is conducted. 9. There are no major, precast, concrete cladding components on the façade; therefore, no

evaluation is required. Comment If the construction of the fly-space above the stage is part of the scope for the project, there will be an impact of higher drifted snow loads on the adjacent low roofs and the main roof of the Auditorium and the structure of these roofs would have to be reinforced. If the construction of a balcony is part of the scope for the project, there may be an impact on the lower adjacent roof, if a decision is made to cantilever the balcony structure from the back wall of the Auditorium. Summary The existing structure appears to be in sound condition and is performing satisfactorily. A thorough investigation of the existing structure is required for the following:

• To verify the assumption about the floor of the Auditorium and the stage. • To verify the assumption about the foundations supporting the Auditorium load bearing walls. • To determine the structure of the mezzanine • To determine the structure of the adjacent low roofs and the structure of the mezzanine. • To determine the connectivity of the various structural elements. • To determine the existence of anchors connecting floor and roof deck to concrete or masonry

walls. • To determine the lateral supports of all masonry walls.

It should be noted that the renovations of the Auditorium structure may trigger structural upgrades and necessary reinforcement of the adjacent low roof structures of the school.


GD MECHANICAL ASSESSMENT Section III-Page 9

MECHANICAL ASSESSMENT Hamilton Wenham Regional High School

AUDITORIUM: The auditorium is provided with a single air handling unit located at the ceiling of the projection room at the rear of the auditorium. The air handling unit is of the horizontal discharge design and is provided with a hot water heating coil, supply fan, filters, return air which is drawn low on the wall at the rear of the auditorium, and a direct source of outside ventilation air. It does not appear that the air handling unit is capable of providing 100 % outside air (economizer control). All systems are original to the building and approximately 40 years old. The air handling was originally installed with a steam heating coil; however, during the most recent construction of the middle school, modifications to the high school where undertaken which included a new hot water distribution system. During that reconstruction the steam coil was removed and replaced with a new hot water coil. The existing steam piping was abandoned in-place and new hot water distribution piping was provided which includes an in-line recirculation pump which appears to be utilized as a freeze protection element. All new piping is schedule 40 black steel and is insulated with fiberglass insulation. There are no provisions in the air handling unit for providing mechanical

frigeration for air conditioning purposes. re

Located at the base of the stage are two exhaust registers

which maintain minimum building code ventilation requirements. The exhaust registers combined on a single alvanized exhaust ductwork system located beneath the

stage and travels vertically to a single roof mounted exhaust fan. It appears that all systems are original construction and have not been upgraded.

The ceiling diffusers within the auditorium area are sized for minimum ventilation and heating with no capability of providing mechanical refrigeration. The supply ductwork for the auditorium is located above the ceiling and is galvanized sheet-metal with no installation or vapor barrier. The ceiling

ffusers were noted have slight surface soiling and are of a very antiquated design however, the system does operate and maintain reasonable and code compliant temperature and ventilation control.

There was no supply or exhaust ventilation air provided to the stage area, however, fin tube radiation was provided with a continuous length of cover located approximately 10 feet above the floor. There was ni mechanical air-conditioning provided for the stage.

RECOMMENDATION: The air handling systems as it presently exists have reached their maximum serviceable life. Considering the equipment is not capable of providing air-conditioning, which is generally a requirement in this application, and also with the understanding that the population of the space will be increased, it is strongly

commended that the entire distribution system be removed and replaced with new. re Considering the high population and resulting ventilation requirement, all new systems should consider energy recovery techniques as well as those systems which take advantage of low-level distribution which

ill minimize refrigeration capacity associated with the air-conditioning system. w If it is the intent that all seating will be removed and the floor of the Auditorium will be replaced, consideration should be given to an under seating displacement ventilation system which would be the ideal mechanical application. This system approach will provide a high level of energy conservation, unmatched air quality, and a reduction in air conditioning refrigeration capacity all of which will reduce initial first cost as well as operating cost.


GGD ELECTRICAL ASSESSMENT Section III-Page 11

ELECTRICAL ASSESSMENT Hamilton Wenham Regional High School

Executive Summary In general, the electrical systems in the auditorium are original to the building with the exception of the dimmer racks. The electrical equipment does not meet present code for clearances and separation of life safety from normal power. The life safety systems as it pertains to emergency lighting should be upgraded to meet present code. The best of maintenance programs are intended to make equipment function properly within its expected life span. These systems have exceeded their expected useful life.

The present fire alarm system appears code compliant. It will require modifications for operation of the fire curtain and smoke hatches. It is our recommendation, taking into consideration the age and general condition of the existing equipment, that all panelboards, emergency lighting, and house lighting be replaced. Electrical Distribution System There are electrical sub-panels located in the stage area that serve receptacle and lighting circuits. The panels are circuit breaker type. There is no 3ft of clearance in front of panels as is required by code.

Electrical Sub-Panels Wiring at Control Booth Branch Circuits Branch circuits in the auditorium are generally installed in conduit. Metal clad cable has been installed above ceiling from control booth to the dimmer panels for control of house lights. There are floor pockets on

age for power and DMX control. st


GGD ELECTRICAL ASSESSMENT Section III-Page 13

Fire Alarm System The fire alarm system has been replaced in the 1990’s addition/renovation along with the fire protection system. There is no connection from the fire alarm system to the fire curtain as well as the smoke hatches. Data/Audio Visual There are data drops for the control booth. All data wiring is Cat 5. The data infrastructures should beupdated to present standards. The quantity of outlets is minimal. The system should be terminated inpatch panels.

Data Wiring and Switch There is a local sound system present in the auditorium. The system has a portable amplifier.

Local Sound System Speakers There is no projector or motorized screen present.

Auditorium Stage, A/V, and Acoustical Systems Programming Analysis

Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School

We attended a meeting on November 5, 2009 in the existing auditorium at the Hamilton-Wenham High School with Don Walter and David Lopatich of Dore & Whittier and Chris Shailor, the Dramatics Director of the school’s Fine Arts program. The purpose of this meeting and informal site survey was to assess the school’s needs and desires for theatrical and music production, stage lighting, room acoustics, and sound systems in the renovated and reconfigured auditorium and stage. Below is our initial report based on that meeting and the informal survey, as well as preliminary recommendations and budgets for systems that we feel best meet the needs as described to us at that meeting. A note on the systems budgets: As the actual architectural dimension of the renovation is not yet been fully determined (i.e. the addition of height to the stage house, an added balcony, additional support spaces, etc.) it is difficult to give exact budgets for the technical systems at this time. For the purpose of this analysis, we have made the assumption that the architectural reconfiguration of the venue will be substantial, and we have also assumed “worst case” costs based on “state of the art” systems that would specified for similar highs school with a strong performing arts program. Should the architectural component of the project be scaled back, so may the technical production systems. Also, it should be noted that the technical systems budgets are “turnkey” systems, but do not include supporting infrastructure, such as electrical rough-in, conduit, back boxes, power feeds and transformers, and support structures, etc., that typically are not supplied by stage equipment contractors. General – Programming As discussed with Chris Shailor, the school has a very, very strong Performing Arts program, involving up to 150 or more students, roughly 20% of the student body. The program has a strong statewide and regional reputation, and often wins top honors in statewide competitions. The school is a site for yearly state high school drama festivals, but is in danger of losing its “hosting” status as its facilities are antiquated and access to the stage for touring groups (such as other high schools who present during the festival) is extremely difficult. Each year, not only does the school host the statewide drama festival, but also a fair number of dance recitals, musical theater productions, four or more orchestra/band concerts, four of more choral concerts, over 20 general assemblies, and other uses (i.e. movies, civic meetings, popular music concerts, etc.) The venue is very heavily used by the school, the district administration, and the local community.


Scheu Consulting Services, Inc. A/V & ACOUSTICAL ASSESSMENT Page 16

Mr. Shailor also indicated that local community theater and other outside performance groups have expressed a strong interest in expanding their utilization the venue should it be made more “user friendly”. This could provide additional equipment funding sources, and a modest revue stream for the school to offset maintenance and staffing costs associated with such use in an upgraded facility. This would serve to enhance community and regional presence for the performing arts program and school. General – Existing Auditorium The existing auditorium was built in the mid 1960’s and is typical for its era. The walls flare out slightly from the stage, and the ceiling is a monolithic, closed structure of planar surfaces arranged at differing angles to the auditorium floor. There are several small rectangular openings in the ceiling to allow for “front of house” stage lighting positions, though these are not currently used as they do not allow enough space for the significant number of stage lighting fixtures needed for the school’s productions. A “dead hung” pipe is located in front of these openings and is accessed by a seat straddling personnel lift. The auditorium floor is sloped slightly up and away from the stage, but the degree of slope may exceed today’s federal or Massachusetts state ADA requirements. The Architect will need to determine if this needs correction. The stage height off the auditorium floor is taller than most (+/-48”). The seating is old (perhaps original?) and needs replacing. Current seating capacity of the auditorium is approximately 550 seats, not enough to accommodate the entire school population for assemblies or other events. There was some discussion at the site about the addition of a mezzanine or balcony level to increase the number of seats to the 800 range. There is a control “booth” at the rear upper level of the auditorium, but it is very cramped, full of stored excess materials and equipment, and does not offer a very clear view of the stage. While the stage lighting system is controlled from here, the sound system control is inconveniently located at a rear corner of the auditorium under a large soffit. This location is less than ideal as the operator is subjected to sound reflections/distortions and it is almost impossible to properly balance the sound from that location. The venue lacks sufficient rest rooms to allow separation between audience and performers. That is, the audience must use the same facilities as the performers. Dedicated dressing and scene shop areas are non-existent. Recommendations – Auditorium



As discussed at the site, the entire auditorium interior, including the ceiling, should be demolished. A seating balcony could be added at the rear, along with technical spaces behind it, including a stage lighting control both and side areas for followspot locations. The technical area should also be large enough to accommodate sound system control, though an area centered on the main floor and just forward of the balcony should be provided as a temporary or touring “house mix” position. This may be accommodated with removable seating and temporary railings. In lieu of the current ceiling arrangement, the space should be opened up to the roof structure and an arrangement of catwalks and acoustical reflectors installed. This would provide for more acoustical volume and easy and safe access to stage lighting positions and equipment. Given that sometimes a stage extension is used, a minimum of two catwalks running parallel to the stage would be needed. In addition, side wall lighting “booms” would be needed, and could be accessed by the same ladders that access the auditorium catwalks. The Architect will need to determine if the slope of the floor exceeds ADA limits, and if reducing the slope and lowering the height of the stage floor would provide acceptable sightlines for all audience members. It was discussed that adding level side ramps from the auditorium chamber to the stage would be one way of providing ADA access to the stage without the use of a wheelchair lift. In addition, there was some discussion regarding the creation of a lowered floor level just in front of the stage (a “pit”) for placement of musicians, with a portable pit filler/stage extension system. In a reconfigured backstage area, rest rooms and dressing facilities should be provided solely for the use of performers during a production. If common areas such as a band or choral room are used as dressing spaces, rest rooms should be also equipped with at least one shower for each gender, and intercom/communications provided to the dressing and common areas. Acoustical Considerations - Auditorium The following are general acoustical considerations and expectations for the project: 1. Clarity

Each note should arrive to the listener cleanly, crisply, and un-obscured. This is especially important if the room is used for speech as well as music because the intelligibility of words depends directly on the clarity of articulation.

2. Envelopment



The listener should not feel separated from the source but rather bathed in sound from all sides; yet at all times the sound must identifiably originate from the source so that the sense of hearing agrees with that of vision.

3. Freedom from Echo Even though there must be repeated reflections of sound off the walls, none of them should be perceived as separate echoes; rather, all reflections must blend together smoothly.

4. Uniformity

Regardless of the listener’s location, the sound heard in different parts of the room should be as similar as possible.

5. Reverberation

Reverberation is the continuation of sound in the room. This quality must have appropriate loudness relative to the original sound as well as a pleasing rate of dissipation.

6. Performer Ensemble

The room must be free of distracting echoes and simultaneously provide enough direct and reflected sound to allow effective and adequate communication between the performers.

7. Noise Distraction

Soft passages should not be disturbed by external noise or by the ventilation system. In addition, any exterior noise should be minimized to appropriate interior noise levels. A main concern for the renovation is ensuring that appropriate levels of background noise are maintained and that the mechanical noise level is reduced a small amount. It is crucial that the work done in these spaces prevents noise emanating from adjacent rooms and spaces, mechanical systems, truck/auto traffic and other possible sources from penetrating sound critical areas.

8. Room Criteria (RC)

Background noise within a room is qualified using a system of measurement designated Room Criteria (RC). The general ranges of RC levels are as follows:

Level Description General Uses RC 10-15 Threshold of human hearing Recording studios RC 15-20 Nearly inaudible Concert Halls



RC 20-25 Very quiet Multipurpose Halls RC 25-30 Quiet Movie Theaters RC 30-35 Moderately quiet Conference Rooms RC 35-40 Moderately noisy Private offices RC 40-45 Noisy Open plan offices RC 45-50 Very noisy Manufacturing facilities

N = Neutral spectrum R = Rumbly spectrum H = Hissy spectrum T = Total spectrum RV = Acoustically induced vibration Example: RC 32 (R) means moderately quiet with “rumbly” ambient noise level.

These are published general guidelines that have been developed to provide the appropriate level of noise within specific rooms. A full 3-dimentional computer model will be needed to analyze the reconfigured room’s acoustical characteristics. This computer model will enable analysis and investigation of different options for acoustical treatment. The full acoustical report and recommendations, stemming from the model made of the reconfigured room analysis would include wall, floor and ceiling finishes, and the possible addition of sound absorbing or diffusing panels, adjustable curtains, and/or ceiling reflectors, as needed. We estimate that the ceiling reflectors and other wall treatments needed for this project will be anywhere from $35,000 - $50,000 based on the report’s need and aesthetics issues. This estimate does not include any issues with sound isolation from the exterior, adjacent hallways, mechanical and/or HVAC noise, etc. If adjustable curtains are suggested for the rear and side walls, then these costs would be included in the stage rigging and drapery contracts. General – Existing Stage Area & Technical Systems The current stage area is relatively small given the size of the auditorium. The offstage areas are cramped and do not allow for storage or staging of scenic elements. The “stage house” is not tall enough to allow for the flying of scenic elements out of sight of the audience, so the use of backdrops and other taller elements is extremely limited. The current stage rigging system is of the wire-guided manual counterweight type and is original vintage (1960’s). Though well maintained, it has well exceeded its anticipated lifespan of 30 years and may become hazardous to use in the near future.



There is no direct access from the outside to the stage for ease of “load-in” and “load-out” for productions, nor is there a temporary storage area for scenic elements. The current stage lighting dimming and control system is undersized and somewhat antiquated, being of 1980’s vintage. It does not allow enough flexibility to accommodate modern theatrical lighting requirements. The number of fixtures owned by the school is also very limited, and for most productions, equipment must be borrowed, rented, or bartered. The production sound systems are essentially “ad hoc” systems, made up of a combination of school owned new and used equipment, and borrowed, rented, and bartered equipment. There are no permanent communications systems (i.e. intercom/headsets) to support areas such as lighting and sound control areas, the band or choral rooms, Front of House, or dressing areas. General storage throughout the stage area is severely lacking, with materials, equipment, paint, props, etc. stored wherever there is room, both onstage and off. There are no centralized storage areas. Recommendations - Stage Area & Support Spaces The amount and nature of the stage area renovation (and the accompanying stage rigging systems) is highly budget dependant. Assuming the budget to be adequate, we would strongly recommend that the stage roof be raised to a minimum of 50’-0” above the current stage floor. This would allow for a full-fly rigging system able to accommodate taller scenic elements and full stage drops. Given that this venue is possibly to be the “premier” hosting site for the statewide drama festival, it should be configured to accommodate scenic elements used at other stage schools, which may have full-fly houses. Mr. Shailor indicted that should a full-fly house be provided, a hybrid rigging system of manual counterweight and motorization (described below) would be desired. This would necessitate the provision of a stage weight loading catwalk near roof level, and safe access to that catwalk (i.e. spiral or enclosed stairs). While the stage left side of the stage (east) abuts a common hallway and could not be expanded, the stage right side could be, along with providing a loading dock and temporary storage area with easy access to the stage. Additional lockable storage areas need to be provided – as many as possible. A dedicated electrical “closet” is required for the stage lighting dimmers, with a separate space for sound system amplifiers and other equipment.



New Sound and Video Systems The sound reinforcement and amplification system would need to be designed to support three distinct types of programming. One type centered on amplified voice for spoken word, guest lecturers, and dramatic productions; another type for moderately amplified musical and choral presentations; and the third type centered on the playback of prerecorded sources. This would support music playback from a compact disc player/recorder, MP3’s players and files, and cassette player for musical drama, dance, and video productions. The 3-Dimentional model used in the acoustical study will also be used to layout the optimum speaker types and placements within the room. Three main speaker clusters, left, center and right would be employed. Each cluster would provide coverage to the entire audience area. This will allow for stereo programs and music, as well as vocal reinforcement. Subwoofer speakers would be included in locations TBD. All power amplifiers must be of the highest professional standard. Each amplifier will be provided with short circuit and DC protection, gain ramp up at turn on, forced air cooling, calibrated detented gain controls, and over current protection. An environmentally controlled room is needed (location TBD) for at least two amplifier/control racks. Mechanical equipment would need to be added to properly condition the air this room (NOTE: This equipment may be located in the same room as the stage and house lighting system dimmer racks, but will need separate ground isolated power feeds). Front of House equipment would consist of a digital sound console with 48(+/-) inputs and outputs, graphic equalizers for main system outputs, a cassette player/recorder, and a compact disc player/recorder. The sound system should include microphone receptacles distributed around the stage area in a quantity to be determined. These microphone receptacles, along with the mixing console microphone inputs, will all run to a patch bay in a location to be determined. A complete theatre style microphone and accessories package should be provided, but can be bid as an alternate. The system should include 12 to 16 wireless microphone systems, each with a handheld and lavaliere microphone. A minimum compliment of wired microphones, cables, stands and adapters should also be included.



A stage monitor/effects speaker system consisting of distributed speaker output receptacles, graphic equalizers, and “on stage” portable speakers (for signal foldback to aid performers and localized sound effects) should be provided. This system would be flexible in nature allowing portable speakers to be used as vocal monitors, stage side fill speakers, band monitors, and for localized special effects. A two-channel technical production intercom is desired. This would include plugging stations backstage, in the support areas, control booth, follow spot areas, and the Front of House. This part of the system shall include dual power supplies. A suitable quantity of headsets, beltpacks, cables, and remote microphone kills shall also be provided. A Small Events System for every day events and assemblies would be included and would be a panel or box located on the stage wall with a power switch that will power on and “take control” of the entire sound system and activate two local volume controls for microphones and a volume control for a stereo input (i.e. an iPod). An FM assisted listening system must be included per ADA requirements. Typically headsets must be provided for up to 5% of the audience, unless stricter state or local regulations require more. The purpose of a video projection system is to project a magnified video or computer image to the video screen. The projector would be permanently installed in the auditorium and a motorized projection screen would be located at the stage. Receptacles for data (PowerPoint – computer graphics and audio) would be distributed at both sides of the stage and at the main control location. Additionally, a wire and receptacle system that will make allowances for various RGBHV wired locations for camera outlets, projector outlets and data, would also be installed with locations around the stage and seating areas. Control equipment for the video system shall consist of a DVD/BlueRay HD player, a SVHS player and a video switcher/scaler. A video show relay system consisting of a camera located in the rear of the house and a portable camera (which could be located in the orchestra pit) would distributed to TV monitors and wall plates throughout the facility will be included. We estimate that the sound and video systems budget needed for this project will be from $275,000 to $300,000. This number does not include infrastructure needed (electrical service requirements, conduit, fit out for speakers, etc). These elements will need to be designed by the architect’s electrical engineer to local code requirements. Some savings may be had by using any existing speakers as backstage monitors, etc., and existing school A/V equipment (cameras, monitors, etc.)



New Theatrical and House Lighting Systems The production stage lighting system needs to be able to provide basic lighting for school functions, stage productions, and musical ensembles (band, chorus, etc.) as well as “full scale” Drama Festival productions. Additional dimmers/circuits and control points should be available at all lighting locations to allow for the use of rental equipment, when needed. At a minimum, 144 each 2.4KW dimmers are needed for the stage lighting system, with infrastructure and base power provided to add up to 48 additional circuits in the future. The additional dimmers may be bid as an alternate. The house lighting would be controlled by its own system and be fed by its own rack of dimmers, but be capable of being controlled by the stage lighting control console as needed for events. Two overhead lighting positions in the Front of House area and focused towards the stage and stage extension is highly desirable, as well as two or four side wall “boom” positions. Four onstage “electrics” would be provided, as well as a pro-proscenium electric just downstage of the opening (currently the school has a “dead hung” pipe in this location). The computerized lighting console should be able control all standard theatrical lighting cues and provide for pre-programmed “looks”, but have the capacity to accommodate rental equipment. Hard wired Cat 5 ethernet control with ACN protocols would be provided for lighting control. Control of moving (intelligent) lighting fixtures should be supported even if these types of fixtures are supplied, as they may be rented or borrowed as needed by production demands. We estimate that the base theatrical and house lighting diming and control budget needed for this project will be from $285,000.00 - $315,000.00. This estimate includes the control console, remote control station backstage, house lighting entry stations, new dimming systems, emergency lighting transfer switch, a new fixture package, and two new follow spots. The fixtures, and a package of accessories (extension cables, color media, etc.) could be bid as an alternate if other funding sources are available. This budget does not include any infrastructure needed (electrical service requirements, conduit, etc.). These elements, and the location and selection of the house lighting fixtures, will need to be designed by the architect’s electrical engineer to local code requirements. In all cases, however, dimmable fixtures/lamps must be used for house lighting (no non-dim fluorescents or other types of non-dimmable fixture can be used). Stage Rigging and Draperies



As noted above, the type and scope of new stage rigging systems are dependent upon the architectural changes planned for the stage house, and whether or not a “full fly” stage house will be provided. Assuming this to be the case, the Owner has expressed the desire to have a “hybrid” stage rigging system consisting of manual counterweight linesets with several motorized linesets for dedicated use, such as stage lighting electrics and concert shell acoustical reflectors. Assuming the stage depth were not to change, the space could accommodate up to 35 each 1,200 lb capacity manual linesets and seven (7) each 2,200 lb capacity motorized counterweight assist linesets (1,200 lb arbor capacity with 1,000 lb motorized overbalance capacity). The best location for the rigging would be on the stage left side which abuts the hallway as the stage right side of the stage is most likely to be reconfigured for access to a new loading dock area. As noted earlier, adjustable acoustic draperies on tracks may be installed at the rear and side walls of the auditorium, dependent upon the results of the acoustical analysis of the reconfigured auditorium. Heavyweight polyester velour fabrics are preferred for the drapery, with linings for the main curtain and any acoustical curtains. They look “rich” and absorb unwanted light. All stage draperies must be inherently flame retardant (IFR) or treated to meet NFPA 101 requirements. For schools, we prefer polyester IFR fabrics as maintenance and retreatment is not an issue, and more than makes up for the slight “sheen” that pure cotton velour does not have. Since the space is heavily used, we would recommend heavier fabrics, typically 22 – 25 oz. material. The color for these drapes will be determined by the Architect from a palate of standard colors. The onstage legs and border drapes should be black. Should it be determined that a Fire Safety Curtain system is required by the AHJ, a system meeting current IBC, NFPA 80 and ANSI E1.22 requirements will need to be motorized. All rigging should be installed by a qualified stage rigging firm – the presence of an ETCP certified theatrical rigger as the crew foreman is highly recommended and will be included in our specifications. The estimated costs for the rigging and drapery package described would be in the range of $175,000.00 - $200,000. This estimate does not include any costs of additional structural support that may be required. A Fire Safety Curtain system meeting code and ANSI requirements would be in the range of $35,000 to $50,000, depending upon the rigging type and size. Other Systems There was some discussion at the meeting regarding the need for a portable concert shell system and a pit fill/extension system.



The concert shell system would be used mostly by the orchestra/band/chorus. Back and side towers work with flown overhead panels to create a complete enclosure to contain and blend sound onstage and project that sound into the audience chamber. Without this system, sound tends to get lost up the stage house and draperies, and can often sound muddy or muted, with the loss of higher frequencies. A standard quality concert shell system with flown adjustable ceilings panels would range from $50,000 to $75,000 depending on size and finishes. Storage of the shell towers is an important consideration. A pit filler system to cover the forestage pit area or provide an extension o the stage as required by productions, typically run $35,000 to $50,000, also depending upon size, arrangement, the number of levels required, and floor finish. Typically, and removable railing system is needed on the audience side of the system. The acoustics in adjacent band and choral practice rooms must also be addressed. It is desirable to have these rooms simulate the acoustics found onstage in the auditorium, so that time on stage for rehearsals is minimized.


Programming and Options Narrative

Dore & Whittier Architects, Inc. worked with the members of the study committee to review the current dramatics program and to solicit input regarding future needs. Out of this work, the proposed program was established. During the development of the program, the following criteria were identified as key elements:

1. 700-800 seat capacity 2. ADA/MAAB Accessibility 3. Mechanical and Electrical Systems upgrade 4. Theatrical Upgrades (lighting, sound system, acoustics, stage rigging, full-fly loft stage) 5. Support Spaces (Scene shop, dressing rooms, storage)

The program then served as the roadmap for development of conceptual options for the Auditorium. Three options were developed for review. The renovation option only addressed infrastructure needs and did not meet any space needs. Since the option did not meet the criteria established by the study committee, it was determined that it was not a viable option. Option 1 addressed both space and infrastructure needs with additions to and renovations of the existing space. Option 2 proposes a new auditorium to address both space and infrastructure needs. Each option is described in greater detail in this section.
