Schmidt’s project team proposed innovative designs, which led to the award of both projects. In the case of the RNC at Madison Square Garden, Schmidt’s 30,000-square-foot mezzanine expands the existing floor space over the ice rink by 30percent; additional smaller platforms that protrude through the main mezzanine provide camera staging and are isolated by a special vibration buffer.
For the DNC at the Fleet Center, Schmidt’s 49,000-square-foot design, which will be used in a temporary outdoor structure, is engineered to be installed and dismantled quickly, and will be used again in different modular configurations at other locations.
W.A. Schmidt designs and custom-engineers high-quality wide-span and modular mezzanines plus a variety of other material handling products. Schmidt has completed more than 22,000 material handling equipment installations throughout North America and overseas.
