<p><img alt=\"Sevens\" height=\"170\" src=\"/images/uploads/Sevens_1.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"255\" />The 6,250-square-foot bar is located near the casino\'s gaming floor in an area previously occupied by the Gateway Caf&eacute; and gift shop. Sevens houses display cases of historic memorabilia from the St. Louis Cardinals Museum Collection and features 16 high-definition flat screen televisions and a retractable projection screen that can be viewed from all angles of the facility.</p>
<p>In keeping with the sports theme, the entry floor is made of glass mirror chips embedded with hockey pucks, murals feature oversized sports ball images, and rows of baseball bats accent the walls of several VIP booths.</p>
<p>Kaiser Electric crews had just 90 days to complete the project, just in time for Major League Baseball\'s playoff games, which began on Oct. 7. Kaiser\'s work included wiring the 360-square-foot stage, dance floor and house lighting; providing power distribution for the 16 flat-screen televisions and the bar equipment; and wiring a theatrical dimming panel to illuminate a series of translucent fabric clouds suspended from the main area\'s ceiling. The clouds are back lit with DMX-controlled LED lights which use a blend of lighting to create different colors and effects within the clouds.</p>
<p>Kaiser Senior Project Manager Brian Sweet worked with the architect/interior design firm on the project, KAI Design &amp; Build, to ensure that its overall vision for the project was achieved. The general contractor on the project was Legacy Building Group of St. Louis.   \"It was a challenge working around the clouds,\" said Sweet. \"We worked hard to keep as much of the wiring and equipment out of site, while being able to achieve everything that the interior designer had envisioned. We had to incorporate all of the wiring and mechanical equipment into a small space, which was a challenge, coupled with the fact that the venue was such a large, open structure.  Another challenge on the job was the small time frame which we were allowed to get all of the work done. We were actually working off sketches and notes in the early phases before some design drawings were actually turned in.\"</p>";s:10:"category_0";s:1:"4";s:10:"category_1";s:2:"72";}
