RAPID CITY, S.D.—The newly branded Rapid City, S.D., Adoba Eco Hotel recently unveiled its exterior signage package. It was designed and fabricated by Lauretano Sign Group, a national provider of eco-savvy signage products. Atmosphere Hospitality Management Services is the owner of the Adoba Eco Hotel brand.
As the hotel continues to strive towards LEED certification and reducing its carbon footprint, owner of the property Karim Merali stated, “Joining forces with the Lauretano Sign Group was a great recommendation by the Adoba executives. This sign package was custom-designed for the hotel, constructed with up to 85 percent recycled plastic and finished with coatings that contain VOC levels at or below the requirement of the Green Seal GS-11 rating.”
Further green aspects of the Adoba Eco Hotel signage package include: illumination by GE LED systems, containing no mercury, lead or glass and offering an energy savings of up to 90 percent over neon and fluorescent light sources. The LEDs within the sign last up to 50,000 hours, which calculates to 17 years when illuminated for eight hours a day. Upcoming projects between the Lauretano Group and Atmosphere Hospitality Management Services will include solar sign lighting and renewable energy strategies that can quickly and affordably be added to the design package.
“As one of the nation’s leading green sign companies, we are very pleased to have created and designed this one-of-a-kind branded-sign package with the Adoba team and developed such an attention-grabbing monument and channel letterset package,” said Patrick J. Byrne, president and CEO, Lauretano Sign Group, Terryville, Conn. “We look forward to a long-term preferred partnership with the first LEED certified independent hotel branded concept.”
