Improved Theatrical Amenities
Bray led an extensive renovation to Port Washington High School‘s auditorium as part of the multi-phased additions and renovations to transform the building into a like-new school.
The rejuvenated auditorium includes new theatrical lighting and rigging, follow spot platforms, a piano garage, updated finishes, and new seating to provide better access and comfort for audience members. The first three rows of seats are also removable to provide space for an orchestra when needed.
The former music rooms are now support spaces for the auditorium, such as dressing rooms, a scene shop, and a black box. We also helped the district improve the patron experience by updating the lobby with new finishes, a ticket counter, and two single-user restrooms.
A Like-New High School
Multi-phased additions and renovations transformed Port Washington High School into a like-new school that better supports 21st-century learning.
New Athletic Facilities
We also partnered with the district to create state-of-the-art athletic facilities for training, education, and recreation.
