What is a “sprung” floor (i.e., the stage in the Maier Foundation Performance Hall)?
A “sprung” is a wood floor that is not placed directly on concrete, but actually has a layer of insulation between the wood and concrete. This means the floor has some give for dancers, etc. The floor has a layer of concrete on the bottom, then on top of that a layer of insulation, and then the very top consists of wood. What are the dimensions of the Maier Foundation Performance Hall stage when the hall seats 1,880 people (the Hall seats 1,880 when both stage lifts are completely lowered)? 55 ft. wide x 45 ft.
