Alyssa Weber and Jarrod Reimer with Visual Interest, Lisa Bartlett with Davis Partnership, and Gregg Adams and Dan O’Connell with BCER received a 2021 IES Merit Award for their design of Denver Botanic Gardens Freyer Newman Center.

A unique Crestron Commercial Lighting Controls wired/wireless hybrid system utilized multiple control protocols to satisfy the Gardens’ requirement for flexibility, as well as the project budget and fast-paced schedule. The product features distributed Zum Wireless in the majority of the building, a CAEN dimming panel for the auditorium, and a DALI tunable white system for the specialty classroom spaces. All of these system types have unified control via headend wireless Crestron touchscreens.
