What fits in William E. Ward Ballroom
With a 6.1 m ceiling, a flown wall of Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 (2.5 mm) runs 97 tiles wide by 8 high (776 tiles, 48.5 x 4 m, 19400 x 1600 px) once you keep 1.5 m of trim under the bottom edge. That wall weighs about 6,053 kg and draws up to 124.2 kW (597 A at 208 V). Floor space after a 12 x 7 m stage seats roughly 3,947 theater, 1,614 banquet, or 1,110 classroom. The previz lets you move the wall, change the tile, and check sightlines from the back row.
| Panel | Pitch | Wall (cols x rows) | Size | Resolution | Weight | Power (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 81 x 12 = 972 | 48.6 x 4.1 m | 62208 x 5184 | 4,374 kg / 9,643 lb | 86 kW, 414 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 97 x 8 = 776 | 48.5 x 4 m | 19400 x 1600 | 6,053 kg / 13,344 lb | 124.2 kW, 597 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 97 x 8 = 776 | 48.5 x 4 m | 12416 x 1024 | 6,053 kg / 13,344 lb | 108.6 kW, 522 A @ 208 V |
Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.
Planning notes
No rigging point data is published for this venue yet; plan on ground-supported LED or ask the venue for its rigging plot. 5 of the 14 rooms sit under 3.5 m, which rules out flown LED there and limits ground-stacked walls to about 6 rows of 500 mm tile.
Data source
Published dimensions. Dimensions from the venue's published meeting-space specifications (source). Rooms drawn as boxes use published length x width; square rooms were derived from published area only, so treat their shape as approximate. Venue managers: send a floor plan to upgrade your listing to production-ready.
