Renovation projects in occupied buildings are never easy, but when the opportunity is to work in the iconic Union Trust Building, Clista jumped at the chance.  The historic landmark was built in 1915, and the renovation would take the building into its second century as a modern, LEED Certified property.  Working closely with Mascaro Construction Company, Clista was chosen to supply a design/build electrical package.  The lighting had to be creative and practical to maximize impact while working within budget constraints and satisfying National Park Service historic criteria.

We selected LED fixtures to improve energy efficiency, support LEED certification, and increase the ease of maintenance.  All items selected were to ensure the preservation of the historic integrity and ambiance was achieved.  We replaced the entire electrical distribution system and installed a wide variety of new components.  Although, it was a tall order, the project was completed on time, under budget, and with minimal disruption to the tenants- which is how we build trust with our clients
