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.

High-dynamic-range imaging
Photometric calculations
Full-scale mockups for optics, lensing, and offsets from the building
Illumination of 20 stories of façade with luminaires
Six 18-degree beam spreads
Color-consistency and uniformity were greatly improved
Controls extinguish the lighting at midnight to preserve the night sky, but returns prior to the morning commute
The design solution substantially decreased maintenance and met budget requirements

This project won a 2016 IES Illumination Award of Merit
