The AMC Del Amo 18 movie theatre is part of the newly revitalized Del Amo Fashion Center at 3525 Carson Street in Torrance, California. The theater opened to the public on Friday, September 22, 2006. The new theatre is part of a $300 million expansion of the Del Amo Fashion Center and is located in the heart of the new open-air entertainment and retail promenade wing on the east side of the mall.  The new theatre will feature 18 auditoriums with 3,200 seats. The stunning new two-story curved glass façade provides a grand entrance into the new theatre and is a focal point of the promenade.  VNSM was brought into this project to perform the installations of the aluminum composite panel canopy at the curved glass facade which lines the perimeter of the entrance and the installation of the aluminum omposite panels at the theatre's ticket booth.  Once moviegoers pass under the entrance canopy into the theatre they will enjoy the new open design concepts of the property including sensational high-mural celebrity graphics and a modern-day rendition of the red carpet with classic movie quotes inlaid into the crafted terrazzo flooring.  In addition to the aluminum composite panel canopy and ticket booth, VNSM was contracted to perform the installation of the general sheet metal and metal panels around the exterior perimeter of the building.  VNSM's project management team successfully met the aggressive construction milestones on the theatre and the mall, to complete yet another successful project.
