Emergency Lighting Systems in Crest Hill, IL

The State of Illinois is spending $900 million to rebuild Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill into two new facilities, a 1,500-bed men's prison and an 800-bed women's prison, replacing the original 1925 complex. A campus that size holds thousands of staff, visitors, and residents across multiple buildings, and every one of those buildings falls under code requirements for emergency egress lighting and battery backups. Meck Electric installs and tests emergency lighting systems for Crest Hill's large institutional and commercial buildings, verifying that exit paths and backup lighting actually work when the power drops. A campus this size can't afford to find out during an actual outage that a battery pack died months ago.
