Details: The Rave Motion Picture Theaters project included construction of HVAC, sheet metal, domestic water, and sanitary and underground piping systems for the 14-screen 3,000-seat theater and IMAX theater complex in downtown Kalamazoo.  With building acoustical performance essential, added insulation was part of the solution to controlling mechanical systems noise and vibration. Located inside a parking structure with vehicles driving and parking directly above the theater, the solution also borrowed a page from their earthquake-resistant experience on projects in California, providing some “give” to some mechanical systems components to help mitigate vibration noise.

Featured projects including the one above are from the collective career experience of our leadership team.
