074 VENUE
GRAND CENTRAL
miami, usa The Americas
Grand Central is a multi-functional venue located the heart of Miami’s Park West clubbing district. The venue is marketed as an events space, which can cater for DJs, live music or can host private or corporate events. Thanks to its minimalist interior, made from steel and polished concrete, the venue can cater for up 1,500 people, 1,200 inside, and an extra 300 in the venue’s loft area. Its somewhat undefined nature also means that any DJ, live performer or event host can personalise the space to his or her own requirements. Given that entertainment spaces don’t generally last a lifetime, a flexible venue like Grand Central is a favourable investment. For Production Manager and Systems Engineer Titus Woodham,

Grand Central turned a life long dream into reality. For much of the past decade Titus has worked as a touring Audio Engineer, however, he has always felt a close connection to Miami. Despite being fond of Miami, Titus has the opinion that it has been missing a mid sized venue, able to cater for live performance for a number of years. He made it his mission to change that. After talking to close friend and successful promoter Aramis Lorie on many occasions in recent years, it was finally on New Year’s Day of 2010 that Aramis approached Titus and asked him to help design, build, and create Grand Central. And it was the very next day when Titus and a team from his company Freq Productions began working on the plans. Titus said: “I had full creative control. I used my knowledge, expertise and experience to design, integrate and install all of the production based systems. I had a bare building so I started at the source. I designed and installed a fully isolated electrical system for both the audio and visual systems, with industry standard 200amp,
