René L’Helguen venue — Athis-Mons
Conversion of a disused factory into a 3,000-capacity multifunctional hall.
After the industrial engineering company LKI ceased trading, the town of Athis-Mons bought its workshops to create a multipurpose hall able to hold up to 3,000 people. The works were preceded by decontamination of the site, accessibility works, isothermal and acoustic reinforcement, and removal of the hall's main columns.
Essentially devoted to amplified music, exhibitions and events, the stage equipment comprises a motorized truss and lighting bridge, heavy-load rigging points, a large "postcard" screen and a set of stage drapery.
The sound, lighting and video networks are made available to events and touring shows through professional connectivity. Everything can be driven from a control position open onto the hall, set on the stage axis, to which it is linked by an under-slab duct with a draw pit.
