Abstract
Not every assembly space (be it a lecture hall, theater, multi-purpose room, GymaNataCafaConfraTorium, etc.) has the prestige or budget of Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, or the Kimmel Center, here in Philadelphia. Many of the day-to-day jobs that are encountered in the consulting field are renovations of existing spaces at local educational facilities or businesses, and they require the same love and attention but have different restrictions and challenges. Some roadblocks and hurdles include tight budgets, accelerated schedules, space constraints, and/or complex (sometimes fragile) bureaucratic procedures. Today we will look at two recent renovations: one a transformation of a space-restricted, dark and sterile school performance space into a modern, clean and functioning multi-purpose theater; the other a poorly laid out, non-functioning, outdated auditorium (better suited for a fall-out shelter) into a warm, comfortable, accommodating and inspiring space. These two case-studies outline the challenges encountered, solutions developed and heartwarming transformation details that made the renovations a success.
