A Historic Canvas
The Beaverton Valley Theater has been a local landmark for decades. When we were approached to convert it into a VR Tech Arena, our goal was to respect its history while ushering it into the future. The challenge: integrate high-tech infrastructure into a building designed for analog entertainment.
Engineering the Future
We reinforced the flooring to handle heavy gaming rigs and installed a commercial-grade electrical system to support the power demands of VR equipment. Acoustic treatments were crucial; we needed to dampen the sound of intensely immersive gaming sessions without losing the theater's original acoustic warmth.
Preserving Character
We kept the original marquee and ticket booth, restoring them to their former glory. The result is a unique blend of nostalgia and futurism—a space where the community can experience the next generation of entertainment in a venue that honors the past.
