The Brief
In 2022, OHIO811 — the Youngstown-founded utility safety organization — marked its 50th anniversary. They needed their corporate corridor to tell that story permanently. They came to RL.
The Challenge
Five decades of company history compressed into a single corridor. 28 panels covering the 1970s through the 2020s — designed to read at a glance, scale to the wall, and last as long as the next 50 years should. Archival weight, modern legibility, install-grade durability.
- 01Design
Archival review with the client to select milestone moments per decade.
- 02Production
Panels fabricated and prepped at our Boardman shop.
- 03Installation
Six weeks of phased on-site work to land all 28 sections without disrupting daily operations.
OHIO811 began in Youngstown. The fact that they chose another Youngstown company to commemorate it on the wall wasn't lost on us.
