STUDIO NOIR · Pandemic Resilience Infrastructure Spec

Phase 1: basic. Business interruption insurance + reserve + landlord’s HVAC upgraded if marginal.

Phase 2: full stack. Hospital-grade air, outdoor deck, digital fallback.

See 13_PANDEMIC_RESILIENCE/00_RESILIENCE_DOCTRINE for the one-page overview.

Phase 1 infrastructure

Minimal: - HVAC filter upgrade to MERV 11-13 (small cost if base is MERV 8, ~$50-100/year in filters) - CO2 monitor at studio (~$150 one-time) - Standard cleaning cadence (2x weekly external service) - Business interruption insurance - $25K reserve, untouchable

Nothing else Phase 1. Cost is negligible.

Phase 2 infrastructure (preserved for reference)

Rebuilt in 2028 alongside Phase 2 buildout.

Full Phase 2 mechanical engineering spec built out in 2028 with mechanical engineer of record + acoustic consultant + commissioning agent.

Phase 3 infrastructure

Phase 3 franchise units apply the same standards Phase 2 flagship achieves. Franchise agreement enforces the standards. Franchisee owns local buildout to spec.
