Provided electrical & structural engineering services for the design and construction administration for replacement of existing out of date theatrical lighting system at two Maryland State School campuses with new theatrical lighting systems serving the school auditoriums:

• Studied the existing theatrical lighting systems and related power distribution and determined what parts of the existing lighting and power distribution system needed to be replaced.

• Provided structural drawings for a new control room at the Frederick campus which houses the existing sound consoles, lighting control console.

• Provided two lighting control switches in the auditorium with 5 preset settings and one lighting control switch with 12 preset settings in the control room which allows the user to easily switch between various pre-programmed light settings.
