"Whenever you do a renovation, there are always inherent difficulties," says Haas. "One of the critical issues we had to deal with was the mechanical ductwork (for heating, air-conditioning and plumbing).

But we were able to replace all the ducts that run through the theater itself, which amounted to about 25 percent of the ductwork in the building." 5, record 3, English, - mechanical%20duct
