Project Type: Commercial Mixed-Use
Function: Movie Theater
Services: Construct HVAC, Domestic Water, and Sanitary Piping Systems
Contract: $737,500
Contractor: Rave Motion Pictures, Dallas. TX

Details: Rave Motion Picture Theaters, Dallas, TX hired Contractors Mechanical to construct HVAC, sheet metal, domestic water, and sanitary and underground piping systems for the 14-screen 3,000-seat theater and IMAX theater complex in downtown Kalamazoo.  With building acoustical performance essential, added insulation was part of the solution to controlling mechanical systems noise and vibration. Located inside a parking structure with vehicles driving and parking directly above the theater, Contractors Mechanical also borrowed a page from their earthquake-resistant experience on projects in California, providing some “give” to some mechanical systems components to help mitigate vibration noise.
