| ENR Announces Topping Out of Hoboken
Clock Tower
The final segments
of this historic clock tower were lifted into place in early April. The
tower is a duplication of the original tower, which was built in the
early 1900’s and dismantled in the 1950’s. The lighting is intended to
recreate the original, but using state-of-the-art fiber optic technology
and efficient, long-life light sources. The ribbon-cutting event is
scheduled for May 2008. |

Illumination Arts In The
Press
The
National Audubon Society Headquarters was featured in the New York
Times, with a particular focus on the sustainable design features of the
space. The lighting, personal controls, and daylight harvesting system
were all mentioned as contributing to the success of this LEED-CI
Platinum design.
Illumination Arts has been a source of expertise to the folks at NJ Biz,
a weekly newspaper for the New Jersey business community. An article
about lighting for corporate office spaces featured IA and some of their
work. Another article exploring the benefits and pitfalls of starting a
new business or buying an existing one highlighted the success of IA’s
decision to begin anew.
The restoration of the historic Hoboken Clock Tower was documented in
ENR (Engineering News Record) as the final tower segments were lifted
into place. The grand opening for this project is scheduled for May
2008. Click here to see photos of the tower during the final phases of
construction. |
