The Library of Congress (Library) requires contract support to modernize the audio and video capabilities and infrastructure of the L. Quincy Mumford Room (Mumford Room), located in the Library’s James Madison Memorial Building. The Madison Building was completed in 1980 and the current audiovisual infrastructure in the Mumford Room, dates back to the opening of the building. The Mumford Room supports lectures for up to 180 guests, standing receptions for up to 200 guests, seated dinners for up to 96 guests, and classroom style events (not exceeding 100 guests). The modernization project will upgrade the audiovisual components of the Mumford Room and its dedicated Projection Booth. The 35mm film projectors and infrastructure once in use have been retired and removed. With the modernization project, the Projection Booth will simply become a Control Booth since projection will no longer occur in that space. The goal of the modernization project is to eliminate the use of portable audiovisual equipment and temporary cable runs, and install a permanent infrastructure that is scalable, reliable, and allows easy end-user operation to increase use of the space for both internal and public events. This project will not allow for significant modifications to the physical structure of the spaces. Current floor, wall and ceiling penetrations will be re-used to the extent possible. The contractor must identify the need for proposed new penetrations, physical mounting points, or additional electrical outlets/feeds for the Library to consider for approval. If approved by the Library, the Architect of the Capitol (AOC), and the Library’s Office of Space Utilization, Planning, and Design (SUPD), AOC personnel will perform these modifications.
