Project Highlights

• Completed electrical work and lighting for the 9-story hotel’s 375 rooms, lobby, bars, restaurants, 3 flight simulators, conference and event spaces inside and outside, and low voltage systems
• Work completed on time despite delays and rework due to design changes, financing, campus activities, rain, and a fire at the job site
  • A Greiner employee spotted a fire during construction, immediately reported it, and ran up 4 flights of stairs with a fire extinguisher to put it out
  • Heavy rains—including the wettest month in Colorado Springs history—impacted the schedule.
• Working 150 feet from the academy gate during graduation, football games, and other activities required careful coordination.
