Fire Arts Building - Rigging Upgrade

A new stage rigging system was to be installed at the Fine Arts Building’s Studabaker Theater, which hosts NPR’s “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” and other productions.

DWA provided assessment of the existing structural steel for new rigging system loading, including support to historic steel platform above the stage and side stage intermediate balcony to support tie-down rigging machinery.
