Project Overview

Compass Electrical Solutions partnered with Mary Institute and Saint Louis Country Day

School (MICDS) to enhance the lighting system at their Natatorium. The goal was to improve

visibility, energy efficiency, and long-term sustainability by upgrading the existing fixtures to

high-performance LED lighting.


Project Scope & Highlights

  • LED Lighting Upgrade – Replaced outdated fixtures with brighter, more energy-efficient LED lighting, improving visibility for swimmers, coaches, and spectators.

  • Enhanced Energy Efficiency – The new system reduces energy consumption while lowering maintenance costs over time.

  • Ameren Incentive Program – Assisted MICDS in securing an Ameren incentive, helping offset the cost of the upgrade while maximizing energy savings.
