Rhodes Tower 🏢
Honoring Christian Hardin, Matt Vanarsdale, Dave Taylor, David Medley Jr., and Evan Callahan
Join us in celebrating our 2026 BX Craftsmanship Award winners for their exceptional work on the modernization of Rhodes Tower in Downtown Columbus!
As part of this major project, our team completed approximately 264 electrical panel replacements—all performed during off-hours to ensure the building remained fully operational by Monday morning. The scope also included radio room and louver lighting upgrades, elevator distribution renovations, first-floor enhancements, and a high-profile hearing room transformation featuring 86-inch displays, a 139-inch projection screen, integrated microphone systems, and touch-panel AV controls.
Working within an existing, fully operational high-rise required exceptional planning, precision, and adaptability. The unique conditions of the building called for a combination of off-site preparation and skilled field fabrication. Custom phenolic tags were produced to provide clear, durable identification throughout the facility, while conduit sleeves and select bends were prepared in advance to support an efficient installation. On-site, the team field-measured, bent, and adjusted conduit to work around existing infrastructure and the challenges of an occupied building—ensuring every installation was aligned, clean, and built to last.
From major infrastructure upgrades to the smallest details, this project reflects the craftsmanship and dedication of everyone involved—from the team in the field to those supporting them behind the scenes.
We’re incredibly proud of Christian, Matt, Dave, David, and Evan for their outstanding work and are honored to recognize them with a BX Craftsmanship Award. Congratulations! 👏
