An historic building that over several years had sadly fallen into disrepair was hand-selected by the founders and developers of the new Detroit Institute for Music Education (D.I.M.E.), as its future home. The six-story structure, encompassing 36,000 square feet of space, required all new electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems after having sat vacant for several years and subsequently failing to meet city codes. As an immersive learning environment of study and live performance, some of the unique electrical features of the project included adding wireless and smart boards to every classroom, along with data to all of the office spaces; adding digital video recording and playback projection to the live performance venues; state-of-the-art sound systems incorporated throughout; and security features including video security and intrusion detection, along with a student security card access system. ## Blog Latest industry insights from the best [Visit our Blog →](https://blog.peterbassoassociates.com/blog) ## Related Projects ![Beaumont Health Engineering Design](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/hubfs/Next%20Gen%20Images%20-%20WebP%20Files/Services/Electrical%20Engineering/Beaumont-EPS-Upgrade_01-533x324.webp) #### Beaumont Health Peter Basso Associates (PBA) provided mechanical engineering and electrical engineering design services to upgrade the Emergency Power System (EPSS-2) at Beaumont Hospital [Learn More →](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/electrical-engineering-for-beaumont-health) ![Detroit Public Lighting Department PLD](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/hubfs/Next%20Gen%20Images%20-%20WebP%20Files/Services/Electrical%20Engineering/WSU-PLD-to-DTE-1-533x324.webp) #### Wayne State University In anticipation of the Detroit Public Lighting Department (PLD) ceasing to provide electric power to customers starting in approximately 2020, the City granted permission to PLD customers [Learn More →](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/electrical-engineering-for-wayne-state-university) ![Mott Community College Electrical Engineering](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/hubfs/Next%20Gen%20Images%20-%20WebP%20Files/Services/Electrical%20Engineering/Mott-CC-Data-Center_01-533x324.webp) #### Mott Community College Mott Community College desired to upgrade its main campus data center located in the Curtice-Mott Complex in Flint, Michigan.
