United States Supreme Court Undergoes Facelift with Help from Merritt Graphics

Among the many subcontractors hired to complete this reconstruction project was Joseph Merritt Co., based in Hartford, CT. The company’s large-format printing division, Merritt Graphics, headed the project Merritt’s president and CEO Ed Perry labeled a “mesh-scape.” In an attempt to preserve the austere appearance of the building while under construction, the damaged building was covered with a 38,000-square-foot mesh duplicate of the façade. The mesh was attached to scaffolding alongside and in front of the building.
