We’re excited to share the recently completed restoration of the Benedum Center for Performing Arts marquees in downtown Pittsburgh. Originally known as the Stanley Theatre, this historic building has been a cultural landmark since 1928. 

Working closely with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and MCF Architecture, our team at Landau Building Company oversaw the renovation of the iconic marquees on Seventh Street and the Stanley Photoplay board on Penn Avenue. The project involved custom metalwork to replicate the original signage with modern, energy-efficient digital display panels and LED lighting – replacing in total 4,600 bulbs! 

Hats off and a job well done to the key contractors and consultants who helped make this project possible: Shamrock Signs, Fallon Electric, CJL Engineering, Brace Engineering, MEPPI, and Phoenix Roofing.

Landau Building Company would like to thank the Master Builders Association for recognizing Superintendent, Jonathan Muzina, with the Safety Champion Award.  For over two decades, Jonathan has demonstrated exceptional dedication, overseeing our most challenging projects with an unwavering commitment to safety.  A special thanks to the judges and presenting sponsor, MSA Safety, for this distinction. 

Landau attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the new central energy plant at WVU Medicine’s Fairmont Medical Center, a pivotal moment in the project’s multi-phased expansion. For more details, read the full story published by WV News on February 13, 2024.

Last week, the MBA Young Constructors organized a leadership development seminar for early to mid-career industry professionals. Our Vice President, Jennifer Landau, joined as a panelist to share insights on the construction industry’s challenges and changes. Thanks to everyone who attended, and a special thank you to all the panelists for their valuable experiences and advice, helping prepare the next generation of industry leaders.

Fairmont State University students recently joined us for a project tour of the Skilled Nursing Unit renovation at Fairmont Medical Center. The OSHA class had the unique opportunity to engage with Landau’s project team, alongside the demolition contractor Reclaim, and WVUM’s Planning, Design & Construction team. This immersive experience allowed the students to connect their classroom learning materials to real-world industry applications, as they explored an active construction site and gained valuable insights and first-hand exposure to the challenges and intricacies of the field.
