PROJECT
GOALS |
| Our
first and most significant goal for this project
is to develop a competitive first class business
meeting and conference center for our community. |
| As
a competitive facility, provide a complete range
of facilities, amenities, technology, and support
services needed now and in the future by our
perspective clients. |
| Develop
a partnership with the hospitality industry, the
local and regional business community, local
government, business, and economic development
organizations, and the like, in order to market
this business meeting and conference center and
our community, in order to attract business
meetings and conferences to Butte. |
| Develop an ongoing and increasing
revenue stream for the Butte Center for the
Performing Arts, Inc., and Masonic Temple
Association, in order that the magnificent
buildings operated by these two organizations, can
continue to be operated, and can undergo continued
restoration and upgrading, to insure their
continued service to and place in our
community. |

Project Overview | Consolidated
Facilities Renovation Status |
Updated, June 25, 2006
|
- Mother
Lode Theatre Renovation:
In excess of 3-million dollars has been spent
over the past several years on the renovation and
rejuvenation of the Mother Lode Theatre building.
The most recent facility upgrade includes the
installation of a modern-efficient environmental
control system. The
many upgrade and renovation projects at the Mother
Lode Theatre have restored the facility to a first
class performing arts center and has helped make it
ready to also function as a high quality business
meeting and conference center.
- Advanced
Telecommunications Site:
Advanced
Wireless Technologies, Inc. (AWTI) has worked for the
past five months developing and implementing Phases 1
and 2 of the Technology Plan, and is now embarking on
Phase 3. As
part of this process, AWTI has installed a high
quality digital microwave system capable of operating
symmetrically at up to 20 mbps and terminating at
AWTI’s
Butte
Data
Center
on
Front
Street
.
The interconnection to the
Butte
Data
Center
provides for the connection to national and
international IP backbone connectivity, with less than
4-milliseconds of latency between the
Original
Heritage
Center
and Tier 1 network connectivity.
The digital microwave connectivity to the
Butte
Data
Center
can be upgraded to 100 mbps with ease, as needed.
In addition, high speed wireless head-end
systems have now been installed atop the Mother Lode
building to link the Center with its hospitality
partners through out the area, allowing those
hospitality partners access to advanced IP network
facilities heretofore not available in the region.
- Masonic
Temple
Renovation
:
The facilities being made available by the
Masonic Temple Association to this project are in need
of limited upgrade and/or renovation, including:
- All
common and entrance areas require updating,
painting, some restoration work, lighting, flooring
and the like.
- Meeting
rooms typically will need light modernization, new
lighting, drop ceilings, flooring, etc.
- Restrooms
require modernization, restoration and/or
substantial updating.
- An
additional restroom is needed on the first floor
adjacent to meeting/breakout room areas.
- Kitchen
facilities designed to service the large
meeting/ballroom area are in need of significant
updating and improvement.
- Interconnecting
common areas between the
Masonic
Temple
and the Mother Lode Theatre also require some
upgrade, modern lighting and flooring or carpet
replacement.
- Some
electrical system upgrades will also be required in
this building, including additional emergency
lighting, exit lighting, exit sign lighting, and the
like.
