About Project

When Acuity Brands, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of innovative lighting systems, decided to retrofit of an existing 167,000 s.f. facility in Conyers, GA, the transformation of the building included a new facade. To affect a modern exterior with a look and feel that would be in keeping with the cutting edge work environment being created within the reclaimed building, Acuity turned to Peachtree Protective Covers and Centria’s Intercept Modular Panel system. To help put the finishing touches on the the facelift, the design team added a modern and sleek “light portal” at the main entrance.
