Theater Rigging Control System Modernization
The Library of Congress requires contract support to modernize the theatrical rigging control systems in the historic Coolidge Auditorium, a 485-seat venue. The existing system, installed in the 1990s, has an inoperable control unit and can only be operated via standalone manual override stations. The contractor will remove the current rigging control system and provide a new unified theatrical rigging control environment. All work must comply with historic preservation constraints, structural limitations, and restricted installation practices of protected performance venues. Performance will take place at the Library of Congress’s Coolidge Auditorium.
