Relevant Radio Headquarters

Lincolnshire, IL

To accommodate the relocation of their headquarters from Green Bay, Wisconsin, Relevant Radio transformed a former plumber’s union building into a dynamic, multifunctional space. The new headquarters not only houses offices but also integrates state-of-the-art broadcast studios, creative production areas, and welcoming community spaces, including conference rooms, meeting areas, lounges, and a chapel designed for both audio and video broadcasts.

AKLD Lighting Design provided a lighting solution that seamlessly balances functional performance with architectural aesthetics. Working within the constraints of shallow ceiling depths and existing structural elements, we carefully integrated indirect luminaires to achieve the vertical illumination critical for high-quality video capture. Intuitive lighting controls were implemented throughout, enabling adaptable scene-setting for the diverse needs of high-use spaces — from broadcast and production to gatherings and reflection.
