A Movable Stage Facility for Seasonal Use

  • The Shaw Warehouse would be renovated and

reconfigured to accommodate uses currently in trailers

  • The stage design process includes site‐specific

structural and environmental considerations

  • Professional companies will store, set up,

inspect, take down and transport the stage facility

  • Movable stages comply with the full building

code and are inspected by city officials

  • Movable stages are as safe as permanent

structures when designed, installed and operated properly

A Movable Stage Facility for Seasonal Use

  • Earth anchors would be built into the park to provide

ballast for the movable stage.

  • The design of the stage would take into consideration

the possibility of a cover over the performance area.

  • A seasonal tent would be integrated to cover the back

stage marshalling area
