project Summary:

The Live! Casino Pittsburgh began just prior to the pandemic hitting the country.  The job was completed within the original allotted schedule even with added safety measures implemented to keep site employees safe.  In fact, Clista had up to 50 employees on site at any given time with zero Covid-19 cases and incidents.

Clista is always excited to work on endeavors which result in new jobs.  The casino will create approximately 500 permanent positions.  The facility will look a little different than initially envisioned due to the added plexiglass on game tables.  As a result, the public can have full confidence safety remained a top priority for opening.

Transforming an old department store into a casino is no easy feat.  Clista needed to support an infrastructure with heavy electrical requirements into a building never designed to accommodate such needs.

With more than 30 game tables, 750 slot machines, a 40 foot HD Media screen, and top chef restaurants like Guy Fieri’s, the Live! Casino Pittsburgh is here to entertain the masses.


GREATEST CHALLENGES/REQUIREMENTS:

  • Tight time line
  • Working through evolving design and scope changes supporting safety requirements
