PROJECT DESCRIPTION
|
This 4 000 seats concert hall, inspired by the architecture of Rome’s antique Coliseum, was designed to house Céline Dion’s permanent show. |
|
The structure is far from conventional and integrates a high level of complexity imposed by the numerous stage equipments, the site, located between a bridge and Caesars Palace Hotel, and a 50 feet wide underground water main directly underneath. |
|
A fast track project from the start with a very tight schedule; plans and specifications were prepared with our work team moving to the architect’s premises for optimal coordination and accelerated production output. |
