| Initiative Title | LED Lighting System Upgrade |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2021 |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Our current lighting system is thirty years old. The current system is a fixed hung single instrument system, meaning there is one light / one color for each area of the stage. It takes almost one hour to change the color of one light; a two-level scaffold run by at least three people is required. Changing the lighting effects as requested by most if not all of our rental customers is time and personnel intensive. Modern LED architectural lights, the industry standard, can provide flexibility and be controlled from the console in the booth using touch screen technology. The new system will be energy efficient and yield 70% savings in electricity. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Cost of electricity will remain high. The quality of theatrical productions will be sub-standard. In addition to the Arts and Communication Department, the theater is used for college events as well as rentals. Potential customers will seek other venues that are able to meet their requirements. |
