My dad was telling me about this tonite, and I pulled it off of his company's web page. It's from earlier on in the year but I still think it's cool.
"SOUDERTON, PA - W.A. Schmidt, Inc., the nation's leading manufacturer of structural mezzanines, announced that the company has acquired two separate orders to provide major mezzanine installations this summer for the Republican National Convention (RNC) in New York City and the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Boston.
W.A. Schmidt, Inc'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 sq ft. mezzanine expands the existing floorspace over the ice rink by 30%; additional smaller platforms which 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 sq ft 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, Inc. 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.
