The Solution

In 1997 a study by the city of Omaha recommended building a new performing arts center with high-class acoustics, performance, and architecture.  In 2000 the non-profit organization, Omaha Performing Arts saw an opportunity to create a new venue in the Holland Performing Arts Center.  The Holland Center was to be comparable with some of the best performance halls in the world, and to be a important part of the Omaha’s culture.  With its unique architecture, Ray Martin played an important part in implementing the HVAC and Plumbing designs throughout the design phase.  Ray Martin also installed the HVAC and Plumbing for this project.

The Challenge

The Challenge was to design a facility to function at high performance for 3,000 attendees and performers while also being acoustically sound so that each event would be a pleasant and wonderful experience.

The Execution

With extensive coordination and collaboration, Ray Martin had to stay on top of all facets of the mechanical systems and the systems roles with the rest of the facility.  This included coordinating with the engineers, sub contractors, and general contractors to make sure that the job completed successfully.

The Result

After designing and installing the HVAC systems for the Holland Center in coordination with the other contractors, Ray Martin played a vital role in putting together a world-class performance facility.  Ray Martin was successful in implementing a high-class system that provides comfort for the attendees, performers while also functioning at an acoustically pleasing level with a specially designed system to minimize noise and energy.
