The structure is clad with solid trimo panels to all sides that are attached to the scaffold sub-structure. Scaffold structure is drilled into the existing concrete slab with apollo bolts. Promoted by Troubadour Theatres as a fully flexible state-of-the-art space with excellent weight and load bearing capabilities, Stage 1 has large dock doors for artics access.
