This multi-phase project was prioritized using a prudent restoration team approach for the hands on evaluation and repair of the original 1920’s terra cotta facade. Repairs included stabilization of critical life safety concerns, preservation of the terra cotta decorative facade elements, arches, pendants, cornices, and walkways; replacement of existing steel lintels; and selective window replacement.

SKA performed a design for the replacement of cooling towers for the Lincoln Financial offices in Greensboro, NC. The original towers were installed on the roof of the building 325 feet above street level and could not be replaced in the same location. SKA designed a new 1,300 ton cooling tower system that was installed on an elevated platform in the loading dock area. Piping and electrical modifications were designed to allow installation resulting in system changeover over a long weekend.
