Full Sail Live is a 22,000-square-foot, acoustically engineered, multi-purpose facility that serves as a live-performance venue known for hosting concerts, conferences, film and TV productions and more. The facility also provides access for Full Sail’s show production undergrad students.
The lighting system redesign was led by Full Sail show production graduate and lighting director Noah Rohrbaugh. It was done in-house and includes all new lighting fixtures, truss, power and data cables.
“Reimagining the entertainment lighting system in Full Sail Live has been such a fun project to work on. Although the facility already had so many amazing systems, we wanted to give the staff and future Show Production students more room to let their creativity shine by integrating the video and lighting technology,” Rohrbaugh in a news release.
