Skyline Pittsburgh, The Exhibit Place
McKees Rocks
A trade show marketing firm located in a 50 year old warehouse at 56 Sexton Road. During renovations, the owners decided to keep "daylight in many spaces by stealing light from glass block windows and using clear ceiling tiles to bring the light into what would otherwise be dark rooms." (Note that later in 2005, the space has been awarded the Energy Star Small Business and Congregations Network Award.) |
