Hulman Center Rigging
In Hulman Center, all trusses and beams are accessible from either the inner or the outer catwalk. Also, the distance from the bottom of the steel to the ground tartan floor is 78' 6". For a rigging plot of Hulman Center, see diagram #1.
Hulman Center Arena Fly System
The fly system in Hulman Center, which was installed in 1995, is an electric winch system with 25 line sets. In the Theater Wedge, Hulman Center uses the first two line sets in order to create a proscenium opening. Each line set is powered by a J.R. Clancy No. #18 DW Fixed Speed Electric Winch with each line set traveling at a fixed speed of 64 feet per minute. Furthermore, each line set is composed of 1 ½" nominal diameter schedule 40 pipe with a maximum weight capacity of 1500lbs spread out across the pipe. Moreover, this system is controlled through a J.R. Clancy Shamrock controller. This controller's CPU enables it of having the capability of moving up to five line sets simultaneously, and it also possesses the capability of programming 99 presets into it's memory. The high trim for each line set is 78 feet, while the low trim for each line set is 3 feet off of the ground tartan floor. For a line set schedule, please refer to diagram #2. For a soft goods inventory, please refer to diagram #3.
Hulman Center Conduit Runs
In the theater wedge, a 6" and an 8" conduit runs from the main floor to the inner concourse mixing area. The distance from DSC through each conduit, to the inner concourse mixing area is 85'.
Hulman Center Staging
Hulman Center is an arena facility with no permanent stage; however, Hulman Center does own Sico staging and it can be built to, but not exceed 2880sq-ft with a height of 48". The stage can meet all staging weight requirements. Also, the placement of the stage on the arena floor is flexible.

Hulman Center House Lighting System
Hulman Center's theater wedge has two separate house lighting systems. Of these two systems, one system consists of non-dimmable metal halide lamps. These lamps are used for work lights. The 2nd lighting system is incandescent lighting, which is controlled through a DMX control signal. Events that travel with their own lighting systems/boards can control Hulman Center's house light dimmers. A five-pin XLR female connector is needed. Presently, Hulman Center controls its dimmers through a Strand 520 lighting board or a Strand 300 series lighting board. Hulman Center's Strand 520 lighting board and the 300 lighting board is programmed with Strand lightpallette software.

Hulman Center owns four(4) Lycian Superstar #1278 2.5K Xenon followspots. These followspots have a 2.5 kW HMI lamp that burns at 5600 degrees Kelvin. Also, on the upper concourse level (level 4), Hulman Center has multiple followspot positions. All of these positions have a dedicated circuit, and each position has a 120volt, 20 amp twist-lock receptacle and a 220 30 amp twist-lock receptacle.

Hulman Center Dressing Rooms and Production Office
In the lower level, east side wing of Hulman Center, there are four (4) locker rooms (A, B, C, D), three (3) star dressing rooms (102, 103, 104), and a small meeting room (112). This wing is located on the same level as the arena floor and it is approximately 100' from the theater wedge. Furthermore, this wing is accessible from only the northeast and /or the southeast vomitory openings. As a result of this, this area is very secure. Each locker room and dressing room is outfitted with a shower and other bathroom amenities. Also, the star dressing rooms and the meeting room are carpeted. For a production office, any of the rooms may be used; however, only locker room A and meeting room 112 have phone line extensions. Consequently, they are normally used as the production office. For a diagram of the lower level East Side wing and of each individual room, see diagram #4.
