The glass has been installed on the 4th floor of the Wedge building between the interior space and the brand-new rooftop patio. To meet fire safety standards, the glass used in the windows adjacent to the fire stair is 4" thick and gel-filled.

Lights, camera, action! These film cabinets were taken out of the Grand Theatre as part of the clean-up process after AltonWorks acquired the building. They are being kept so they may potentially be used in years to come as an ode to the history of the theatre.
