Windows
There are 199 windows, none of which is alike in shape or plane on which it is placed. Each of the windows within the stainless steel canopy structure is equipped with a custom-fit computerized shade. A light-sensor calculates the heat load on the glass, and opens and closes the shades throughout the day as needed to conserve on heat/air conditioning. And of course, the room can be darkened for a slide presentation.
Wisdom Trees
Wisdom Trees refer to the four vertical structures that conduct heat, air conditioning, water and electricity to the higher elevations in the Event Center. They also recognize and honor our donors.
Uplighting
Strategically placed on the branches are the Wisdom Trees are lights that create an up-lighting effect. If your daughter’s favorite color is pink, we’ll wash the walls in pink lighting to mark her special day.
Canopy
The canopy refers to the stainless steel wall/roof and 199 windows and the corresponding all-white interior surface that covers the Keep Memory Alive Event Center
Sound System
Due to the uniqueness and complexity of the canopy, acoustics could not be modeled in a test environment. Rather, final testing was conducted onsite while a live band played as directed. Why not host your event in yet another masterpiece of Acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota? The legend who created the acoustic environment for Los Angeles’ Disney Concert Hall also created a sound environment for our Keep Memory Alive Event Center, and for your event.
Curtain wall
The “curtain wall” or north-facing glass and aluminum entrance to the Event Center is 63 feet tall at its highest point. Due to the temperature extremes in Las Vegas, spacers have been installed in the aluminum support system to allow for its expansion of 2 ¼ inches over the 60 vertical feet
