Description

This project includes a 52,000 sf multi-story renovation and a 2-story 12,000 sf atrium with a new façade connects two Fifth Third Bank office towers at the first and second floors. The building features “UNA,” an acrylic ceiling sculpture and “The Water Wall,” an artistic representation of Fountain Square’s Tyler Davidson Fountain.

Features

  • Through our value analysis process, Messer made recommendations to the owner and designer that led to $10 million worth of savings.
  • Messer installed finished temporary walkways to protect and separate building occupants from construction.
  • To avoid disruption to building occupants, terrazzo flooring activities and heavy demolition were performed after normal working hours. There were minimal shutdowns due to Messer’s thorough planning with the owner and subcontractors.
