Borah Room at The Beacon at Embassy Row

Published dimensions

Borah Room is 11.1 x 11.1 m (36 x 36 ft), 123 m² (1,326 sq ft), with a 2.7 m (9 ft) ceiling.

Plan view

Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.

LED wall that fits

Under a 2.7 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 1 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 11.1 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 17 x 1 (3400 x 200 px, 133 kg, 2.7 kW).

Panel	Pitch	Wall (cols x rows)	Size	Resolution	Weight	Power (max)
Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	14 x 2 = 28	8.4 x 0.7 m	10752 x 864	126 kg / 278 lb	2.5 kW, 12 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	17 x 1 = 17	8.5 x 0.5 m	3400 x 200	133 kg / 292 lb	2.7 kW, 13 A @ 208 V
Absen PL3.9 Plus V2	3.9 mm	17 x 1 = 17	8.5 x 0.5 m	2176 x 128	133 kg / 292 lb	2.4 kW, 11 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.

Seating estimate

After a 12 x 7 m stage, Borah Room holds about 87 theater seats, 35 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 24 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 4.1 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
