Narrative
We propose upgrading the lighting technology equipment that has been cobbled together in AL113 (Studio II) theatre space. This space is used extensively buy students who design, build, mount, and produce their own productions (at least three per semester) along with its classroom usage where students work on the stage and classroom experiences would be greatly enhanced with upgraded computerized lighting equipment during classes and performances.
The room has a pipe grid installed and the existing wiring from the 1960’s can no longer support modern equipment. We therefore are proposing upgrading to an almost completely new system composed of LED based lighting fixtures which operate at low power levels. This will allow us to use three outlets that exist in the room to run the entire system, requiring no electrical re-fit or infrastructure upgrades.
Because the new lighting equipment communicates via computer protocols, we will need to upgrade the lighting computer console to be able to “talk” to the lighting equipment. We are proposing a strong mid-level board (the ETC Element) as the console we wish to install to allow students to program lighting cues, stage looks, and effects for their productions.
Project goals:
1. Purchase a new computerized lighting console able to communicate with computerized lighting equipment.
2. Purchase 30 new computer controlled LED lighting fixtures.
3. Replace old control systems from the 70's and 90's to improve opportunities for student research and inquiry projects.
4. Minimize student exposure to high voltage systems and burns possible when working with older equipment.
Facilities
No need at this time. We will be abandoning the exiting wiring system in space.
