Short lead-times and project complexities demanded our tightest project management skills at this high-profile facility at the University of California in Davis.
Specialty projects such as concert halls present unusual circumstances requiring highly skilled trades people. This theater was no exception, featuring a sloped floor, a stage that rose up and down, and movable walls and light bridges.
The veneer for this project was cut from logs pulled from the bottom of Ruby Lake in Canada. A logging company harvested the trees over 100 years ago. The logs were salvaged from the lake only recently.
