Mid South was selected as the electrical contractor for construction of the new Hampton Inn & Suites in downtown Windsor. We provided full electrical power and lighting for the 7-story, 147-room and suite property including the indoor pool, fitness facilities, and 1,000 person meeting space.
Theatres
The historic Chatham Capitol Theatre is a 1,214-seat entertainment venue in the heart of downtown Chatham, Ontario. Originally constructed in 1930, the theatre closed in 1993, but was purchased by a not-for-profit organization with the intent of restoring/reconstructing it.
During the restoration the main auditorium was outfitted with 755 seats and a balcony was added to accommodate another 455. Also added was a hydraulic orchestra pit, a stage with a 65-foot fly tower and state-of-the-art rigging, an elevator, three lounges, and advanced technology. Restoration was completed in 2014.

The facility features a splash pad, therapy pool, and multi-lane competitive pool, as well as a built-in wheelchair ramp to access both pools and opened to the public on July 4, 2016. The main pool is 6-lanes x 25-metres with a water depth of 1.2 metres to 2.75 metres. There are also new women???s, men???s, and family change rooms with lockers and showers.
