12 days for me. Then my school is hiring me back as a consultant.
Ah, you're one of those people
Not a senior, but an elder.

Whoops, sorry about that, I am usually a huge grammar nazi, I can't believe I missed that. It was 3am when I posted this though, I don't think my brain was functioning all that well.
You are also correct! That SmartPack is a SmartSwitch with 20, 20amp relays. They are being used to supply and control power to the HMI House Lights and the LED's, All of the acoustical panels you see in the first photo on the left and right walls are all backlit by architectural RGBW LED units. The relays turn them on and off, as well as the HMI lamps in the house lights (The incandescents are dimmer controlled.) All movers in the future will be powered by the 400 amp CAM-LOK panel on the back wall. While touring sound power will be provided by the 200 amp panel with Isolated Ground.
The Reason we have 3 Sensor+ racks and not two is, this first SR24 rack is the rack for our smaller theatre which I didn't post pictures of yet, it has 48 dimmers. The other two racks are the dimmers for the big theatre which has 144 Dimmers. The breaker panel is a good 12 inches away from the Sensor Rack so yes the door opens all the way.
The new lighting console is an ETC Ion with a 2x10 fader wing and one monitor. The entire theatre is wired with ETCNet3, no DMX at all, we have 6 Touring ETC Nodes for DMX where we need it and the lighting network has plugs all over the place including 2 for each electric and everything is POE.
Huge props to Chris Souza and Kathleen Maynard from ALPS in Randolph, MA for helping consult on this job and getting us probably THE most technologically advanced High School Theatre's in the country.
oh it will. 18 more (school) days...It's ok guys. Believe it or not, one day, high school will be over!
Is that a spiral staircase in the OP wing?
Hopefully that door is coming off soon! How's it look on the non-ETCNet networking front? Any Cat5 tie-ins around?

Well, tomorrow is the day they hand over the building to us. Unfortunately we have a huge production this week in the old school and we wont actually be getting over there till next week I'm super excited.
Hey Sony, what are the three orange lights to the left and right of the proscenium in that first photo?
Most theatres have "wide seats and skinny seats". It's the only way to stagger seats so you're not looking at the head in front of you and still keep the aisles a consistent width. It's not that noticeable to the eye, but when you start replacing seats or seat backs, you notice quickly!If those are the same seats we have in our theatre like they look like they are, there are wide seats and skinny seats. Once you notice it it will probably bother you, but the wider ones are slightly more comfortable.
