First National Bank Tower Re-light
Morrissey Engineering provided lighting design services for First National Bank’s 45-floor tower located in downtown Omaha. Originally constructed in 2002, the lighting system had greatly deteriorated. This gave the design team the opportunity to preserve the identity of the tower while improving aesthetics, reducing energy consumption and resolving maintenance issues that had plagued the tower.
