First National Bank Tower Re-light

First National Bank Tower Re-light

Morrissey Engineering provided lighting design services for First National Bank's 45-floor tower located in downtown Omaha. Initially constructed in 2002, the lighting system had significantly deteriorated. This allowed the design team to preserve the tower's identifying aesthetics, reduce energy consumption, and resolve maintenance issues that had plagued the tower.
