I think the key here is to start at the top and break it down.
Scenic Shop
Proscenium Stage
House
Offices and Meeting Rooms
Design Studio
Then, break it down more.
Scene Shop-Equipment
Saws, Pneumatic Tools, Automation Gear, Welding and Metal Working Gear, Loading Doors
Proscenium Stage-Basics
Flyrail,
Deck,
Orchestra Pit, Lighting Gear, Sound Gear, Loading Doors, Dressing Rooms
House-Basics
Seats, Plaster Decor, Carpet
Office and Meeting Rooms-Basics
Computers, Furniture, Printers, Copiers, Whiteboards, Projectors
Design Studio-Basics
Plotters, Whiteboards, Art Supplies, High End Computers
Costume Shop-Basics
Sewing gear, worktables, large storage areas
Lighting Studio-Basics
A light lab would be great in the educational setting, as well as workbenches to repair movers and tools.
Then, break it down into actual tangible objects. I'll use the
Proscenium Stage, for example.
Proscenium Stage
Flyrail
-Single
Purchase, Synthetic Ropes
-38 Arbors
-Several thousand pounds of
pig iron
-Locking
Rail [Preferably a Midrail]
-Loading
Gallery
-Grid
-Loft Blocks
-Upright blocks
-Other gear for shivs
-34 Schedule C 1.5 inch battens
-4 Square
Truss, Runways, Or Battens with
multi-cable for electrics
Deck
-Sprung Floor [if needed]
-Trap Door
System [no one seems to install these, but yet everyone wants to be able to use one at some point]
-Trap Room
-Automation Tracks [if a HS, a few pre-intalled tracks is more practical then building a show deck each time]
-Shivs for Automation Tracks
-Winches for Automation tracks
-Loading Doors
-Easy access to dressing rooms and offices
Orchestra Pit
-Acoustics
-Easy access to green room [please don't make the orchestra walk through the house!]
If you're doing lots of tours, load ins, or events, it may be worth investigating having the pit on a elevator that can come to
stage level, pit
level, or basement
level
Lighting Gear
Don't go all
LED! No designers are comfortable enough to walk into an all
LED space. Having nice fixtures is great, but save the LEDS for the
house lights.
-Source 4 of various degrees
-Intelligent Lights [several Martin fixtures, perhaps, a few MAC Auroras]
-LED
Par Cans [very functional for washes]
-Cyc Lights
-Fresnels of various sizes
-Source 4 Pars
-Strip lights [the kind that can be hung or used as footlights]
-Control
Console
-Dimmer Rack [Probably located in once of the offices]
-DMX Gear
-All sorts of cable, adapters, twofers,
multi-cable, breakouts,
etc
Sound
I don't really know much about sound. Monitors, speakers, a board and mics?
Dressing Rooms
-Mirrors
-Sinks
-Bathrooms
-Couch, chairs, other furniture
If you keep breaking it down, you'll eventually be able to get some specifics pounded out.
