Interestingly, these amplifiers didn’t exist at the outset of the original system design for this long-delayed building project. “Now that it’s all finished, the preservation of the famous façade is a wonderful aspect of the center, and well worth the hassle during construction,” said Mark Showers, system specialist at Sage Technology Solutions in nearby Mount Joy.
