The Empire Building in Birmingham, Alabama has been vacant since 2009 after Colonial bank moved out. In August 2015, Buford, Georgia-based Ascent Hospitality announced it would bring the building back to life with a $45 million project to include two Marriott hotels, a restaurant, event space and a rooftop bar.
The project includes the adjoining former Tony’s building and former Alagasco headquarters, which will be a Fairfield Inn and Suites. That building recently started construction.
The inside of the hotel maintains a largely neutral color palette with pops of turquoise, and blends the building’s historic touches like the antique chandeliers and marble staircase with new touches like bright blue paint and creative light fixtures.
The inside of the rooms almost feel like a whole different hotel – bright yellow accents create a totally modern feel. Each room has a 49-inch high definition flat screen TV and complimentary wifi. Each also has a “smart fridge” – meaning the fridges won’t use full power to refrigerate until something is put inside it, saving energy.
The Elyton will be part of Marriott’s Autograph collection. The only other Autograph hotel in the area is Mountain Brook’s Grand Bohemian Hotel in Lane Parke. There are more than 100 autograph hotels worldwide, and the concept is that each hotel will be different from each other and from other hotels.
The Elyton will have 111 rooms and six suites. It’ll also have a 710-square-foot gym. The neighboring Fairfield Inn will have an additional 120 rooms.

The NASA Restored Apollo Mission Control Room Restoration at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX was unveiled on June 1st, 2019. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing, NASA decided to renovate the Apollo Mission Control Center in Houston to its former glory.
The effort was led by iconic NASA flight director Gene Kranz, who helmed the Apollo 11 mission, the Apollo 13 mission (“Houston, we have a problem.”), and more. It took him and NASA five years of fundraising and two years of restoration.
FGD Glass Solutions | On-Site Systems was honored to provide the decorative printed glass panels featuring historical images of the Apollo Missions. Gene Kranz said the glass & images is his favorite part of the restoration.

Surface Tension, located at Utah State University College of Life Sciences, features 534 unique cast and laminated glass ‘drops’, powder coated aluminum cladding, internal LED light, and a steel structure.
Surface Tension deploys cast glass to evoke the “materiality” of water… water, because there is no biological system without it and it is therefore crucial to the study of life sciences. The glass mimics water in three ways: structure – water drop sizes and shapes were analyzed and used as the basis for casting; effect – glass chill marks and light refraction create watery light; image – images of life developed with college faculty can be found by intrepid observers in some of the drops.
FGD Glass Solutions was asked to provide the decorative glass printing and glass lamination for this project.

An apt name not only for the fantastic piece of art, hung atop the Frederic C. Hamilton Building in Denver Colorado, but for the process involved getting the project completed.
Designed by artist Elizabeth Gill Lui, her vision was to create a series of images that referenced the Rocky Mountains. She accomplished this by shooting thousands of images of city lights in her hometown of Los Angeles. From there she was able to edit the images and link them together to create a seamless mural of mountains created by light.
The idea was to etch the images on glass and illuminate them with LED edge lighting at night and let light transfer create all of the magic during the day. To accomplish this task, FGD | OSS was called in for the job.
The etched glass was the most challenging aspect because the right combination of color and contrast caused new challenges. Since the panels were laminated to meet code, and laminate absorbs so much light from the LED edge lit strips, FGD | OSS needed to ensure that the thicker of the two laminated panels was directly over the LED’s so only the etching would be lit. There also had to be a tolerance within the hardware to allow for expansion and contraction due to Colorados extreme weather.
The second challenge was the lighting aspect because the implementation involved the most collaboration. The entire mural was divided into sections of separate fixtures designed, fabricated, and delivered to the site. A custom cap was designed, engineered, and manufactured to unify the existing balustrade with the new one and to create a raceway for the lead wiring on each fixture to it’s driver concealed in an electrical box located in a distant location.
Every aspect of this project had to be done right the first time, and this came through collaboration. A fine tuned choreography between FGD | OSS, the artist, owner, interior designer, architect, engineer, general contractor, property management, electricians, and glazers.
FGD | OSS is proud to have taken an abstract piece of art and turned it into a functional application. Being part of a team and solving problems.
