Air Force Academy Arnold Hall
Arnold Hall serves the United States Air Force Academy as the entertainment hub for both Cadet Wing and community functions. Hosting diverse functions such as briefings, concerts, dances, Broadway shows, and official Academy functions, the historic facility requires constant adaptation and flexibility.
The theatre has a full-fly counter-weight rigging system with the grid at approximately 70 feet above the stage. The counterweight rigging was replaced and motorized-assist lift units added to lighting pipes above the stage. The entire ETC theatrical lighting system was upgraded, adding circuits and additional control positions.
D.L. Adams Associates provided the theatre consulting and systems designs for the project while meeting the stringent requirements for USAFA design and CAD standards, as well as LEED and historic preservation guidelines.
