The rehabilitation of historic Union Station's 9,500-sq-ft Grand Hall and Market called for restoration of cornices and terrazzo floors, the addition of a 90-ft bar, coffee shop and train display, and installation of a projection system to support one of North America's largest multimedia shows.
A central computer coordinates lighting and motorized interior shades and exterior shutters with the show's projection system, transforming the ceiling into a 50-ft-high arched screen.
Crews installed shutters, shades and other components while preserving the original character of Union's facade and stained-glass windows. Work was performed in an active hotel that was allowing full admittance to other spaces and maintaining accessibility of walkways serving the disabled.
