Just because new construction has declined, doesn’t mean it’s gone completely. Syska Hennessy Group, Philadelphia, has been commissioned to design new electrical and fire protection systems as well as audiovisual, telecommunications, and lighting design for the new corporate headquarters of Chester, Pa.-based software company Synygy. The project entails the renovation of the 163,500 sq ft Chester Station power plant.
