Huston’s Role: Provide and install new LED light fixtures

In August, Huston Electric provided and installed new LED lighting over the competition pool and diving well in the Purdue Aquatic Center. After being awarded with the project, Huston got right to work acquiring fixtures and planning ahead. The schedule only allowed for 3 weeks with completion required by the middle of August. The first step was to demo the existing large and heavy light fixtures and frames. In their place, Huston provided and installed new Lux Dynamics Wave LED light fixtures. From demo to final clean up the project took 2.5 weeks to complete. This was thanks to a great Purdue staff, our skilled electricians, and the help of two 77’ atrium lifts. The new, LED lights should pay for themselves in a short 14 months and with the new fixtures weighing only one third of the old, Purdue has even mentioned using the roof for alternative purposes. The Purdue University staff seem very pleased with Huston’s ability to provide a high quality product within the time restraints given. David Boudia, Olympic diver and Purdue Alum was excited about the new lighting in the Aquatics Center and even took to social media to applaud Purdue on the new upgrade.

Huston Electric’s involvement with the build of The Rise on Chauncey began at the end of 2017. As a design-build job, Huston played a large role early on in designing the electrical layout of the building. Once the plans were complete, Huston’s prefab team started early on prepping all the power and lighting for the 281 apartments and main spaces. Not only did Huston provide all the electrical work and power but all of Huston’s divisions played a role in what you see today. Huston Generators installed two permanent backup emergency generators. Huston Tech installed all of the CATV, voice/data cabling, WIFI access points and fire alarm systems. Huston Signs installed two sets of channel letters, a perpendicular sign, and a set of custom exposed neon letters. The building was completed in August of 2019 and stands as one of the best examples of Huston’s quality workmanship. Through collaboration within our divisions Huston can be the solution to a lot of the problems with constructing a new building. We will continue to provide service for all of The Rise’s future needs in the fields of electrical, TeleTech, generators and signage.
