The historic Fox Theatre is one of Atlanta’s premiere venues for live entertainment. The Fox’s 4,665 seat theatre hosts more than 150 performances a year ranging from Broadway to rock, comedy, and films. Our engineered solutions seek to improve indoor air quality and temperature control of the theatre and adjacent ancillary spaces, through the use of dilution, disinfection, and filtration systems, and CFD modeling.

SETTY was able to work with Fox Theatre in its mission to provide safer and more comfortable environment upon its re-opening to the public due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
