Lim describes back-of-house deficiencies, including insufficient space for artists and production support, no ADA-accessible spaces, and outdated mechanical and communication systems. The project would upgrade building systems, excavate basement support space, and rearrange production areas for accessibility.

In the back of house, there are quite a lot of challenges and deficiencies.

Francel Lim

There's insufficient space for artists and production support.

Francel Lim

None of the spaces are ADA accessible, and the systems, the mechanical system, the communication systems are completely outdated.

So for the back of house rehabilitation, upgrades of course will happen for all of the building systems.

Additional space will be created for back of house support by excavating below the current orchestra level in non-excavated space in the basement.

All of the spaces for support and production will be rearranged and accessible.
