Old Parkland Bell Tower

The Campanile, a new addition to the Old Parkland Campus in Dallas, was completed in 2021 and it is a $25 million, 228-foot-high bell tower with a 15-ton bell named Horatio. Beneath the tower, Linea Light Epitax brings light and definition to the intricate ceiling of an underground conference room.

In 2006, Crow Holdings acquired the historic Old Parkland Campus and began restoring, renovating and adding new buildings to create an extravagant office complex, which now houses Crow Holdings headquarters and other high-end tenants.

Linea Light luminaires were selected for this project because of their small form factor and high performance, allowing the fixtures to be seamlessly integrated into the detailed, historic ceiling while providing sufficient illumination to the conference table below.

Epitax is a family of low brightness, high-performing round LED downlights suitable to illuminate both residential and commercial applications. Epitax Recessed allows for a defined beam, reducing the impact of the secondary light beam while reducing glare at the same time, making it an ideal choice for work spaces. The Epitax Fixed Round Downlight is available in trimless or bezel with a wide variety of optics and color temperatures to provide a customized lighting solution.

Linea Light offers a wide range of high-performance LED luminaires and systems featuring functionality, style and design. Architectural and commercial applications include in-grade and recessed options.
