McLaren Engineering Group teamed up with the operators of the Coach USA/Gray Line tour buses and the New York Waterway offer New York City’s first and only amphibious tourist attraction. New York Splash Tours’ AquaBus, as it has been named, officially opened on May 22, 2007.

Visitors are driven throughout the west side of Manhattan, including Times Square and Hell’s Kitchen. They are then driven to a garage sized shed for a brief multimedia experience and history lesson simulating an Atlantic Ocean crossing, before making their way into the Hudson River.

Opened in September 2006, the Orange County Performing Arts Center houses several performance spaces, including the 1700-seat Segerstrom Concert Hall, a Music Theater, two rehearsal rooms, and supporting facilities.

McLaren was engaged by J.R. Clancy of Syracuse, NY to provide structural and mechanical engineering services for the overhead and surrounding theatrical fit-out, as well as three dimensional pre-visualization modeling and drafting of the acoustic canopies.
