Colorado Capital Old Supreme Court

Challenges:

The State Capitol is a large building and the Capitol Complex as a whole includes more than just the main Capitol building.  After much discovery through several site walks that included many more rooms, a complex and rather old analog audio system infrastructure was discovered that also allows sends audio to recording and streaming servers across the street in what used to be the Colorado State Museum.  This building now houses other legislative council chambers and offices including the Joint Budget Council (JBC). These audio systems are also distributed to what are referred to as Squawk Boxes within several legislative offices.  
Working in either building presents many design, access and construction challenges.  New vs old construction considerations, lead based paint and the need to protect the historic finishes.  When it came to the systems themselves, the legal requirement to retain many of the existing functions on the analog systems, was a must.  Though the long term goal is to complete a Dante Audio network, the analog routing was still required.
