At the beginning of 2020, our team was desperate to bring light to the troubling times that were facing us and the entire world. In partnership with K&D Group, Tom Siko, President of Vincent Lighting Systems (VLS) began discussing ways in which to enhance their lighting and provide the Cleveland community with hope during these difficult times.
In May of 2020, VLS partnered with the K & D Group and WOIO Channel 19 to take control of the lighting at Terminal Tower and choreographed the building to "Better Days" by OneRepublic. Video footage courtesy of WOIO/WUAB, Sean Mangan and Tom Siko. Lighting Designer: Kristin Jones
When EDM performer, Hybrid DJ, and Artist, E-V expressed interest in doing a live stream from the 42nd-floor observation deck of the Terminal Tower, K&D Group reached out to VLS for a solution, one that had never been done before.
After three months of planning and logistics, E-V was scheduled to be performing from the 42nd floor outdoors with an integrated light show that would sync to his performance and provide viewers with an unforgettable experience with never before seen views of the Terminal Tower and the city of Cleveland.

Around the time when it was completed in the late 1920’s the Terminal Tower became the first skyscraper in Cleveland as well as the second-tallest building in the world at 708-feet tall. During the time it was completed, the building was initially used as a railroad terminal and included a hotel, a department store, and the U.S Post Office. Today, the Terminal Tower is occupied by various corporate tenants and serves as a luxurious residency for many individuals.
Over the years, the Terminal Tower has provided a beacon of light to the city of Cleveland and serves as one of their most iconic landmarks.
