In addition, new audio and sound equipment, a lighting truss for stage lights, and two large video wall panels were installed to enhance live venue performances. ADA Upgrades In September 2023, APR corrected non-compliant items that were identified during the 2016 ADA assessment. These items are related to the restrooms, and addressed mounting heights for signage and mirrors, inadequate clearance space, protruding objects, non-compliant plumbing fixtures, and inaccessible ramps and parking stalls.

ADA Parking Stalls Carpet Replacement Roof Top HVAC Unit Replacements (End of Useful Life) Current Project The project replaced eight (8) roof-top HVAC equipment units, with Amtech serving as the consultant team. The Contractor, JM Engineering, was awarded the project in December 2023. The project was anticipated to start construction in Spring of 2024, but due to supply chain issues, the replacement work was delayed. Three units were installed temporarily in July 2024 to replace the inoperative equipment and provide cooling. The three temporary units were permanently installed in December 2024, three more roof-top units were installed in February 2025, and the remaining two large roof-top units for the skating rink were installed in June 2025, after the structural beam installation was completed in the spring. The units have been tested and balanced and a new control system has been installed to manage and monitor the units. The project has been substantially completed. Installation Date 12/2/2024 12/2/2024 12/2/2024 2/28/2025 2/28/2025 2/28/2025 6/25/2025 RTU # Area Issues 3 6 7 5 1A 1B 2A Food Court None East-End Event Area None Arcade Area None Theater Caused by malfunctioning temperature and humidity sensors which allowed high humid outside air to enter area without air conditioning.

The improvements include new interior finishes, theatre seats, lighting, and various support items and spaces, such as dressing room improvements. The theater area has been painted, a new stage curtain system has been installed, and the movie cinema screen was replaced. We are in the process of selecting theater seats for procurement in Winter 2025, with anticipated completion in Summer 2026. New Commercial Kitchen Ventilation with Fire Suppression System Amtech Consultants will deliver 30 percent conceptual design drawings with a construction cost estimate for installation of a new commercial kitchen hood. The hood will provide rooftop exhaust ventilation and a make-up air unit which includes a fire suppression system. The equipment will provide fire protection and a comfortable working atmosphere for kitchen staff and food court patrons by removing odors, heat, steam, grease and smoke. Continuation will depend on remaining funds. Questions Additional Information Additional Information
