SPORTS, ENTERTAINMENT & CULTURE

Creating the spaces that bring us together

Gilston Electric was the trusted partner for Madison Square Garden’s first major electrical upgrade and renovation project in a decade. As the oldest major sporting arena in New York City is also the most famous in the world, the electrical rehabilitation required careful navigation between original construction work and high-tech electrical systems to ensure sound and broadcast worthy of the Garden’s fame.
Gilston Electric has overseen electric strategies for some of the venue’s most high-profile events and exhibitions including The Winter Show, SOFA New York (Sculpture Objects and Functional Art), and IFAADS (International Fine Art and Antique Dealers Show).
Selected by E-J Electric, Gilston played a major role in the creation of the new Yankee Stadium with a groundbreaking Cisco StadiumVision IPTV deployment as part of a massive technology integration project. Gilston was also involved in installing and commissioning an IPTV head-end where local DTV off-air, satellite and HD game feeds are all received and encoded to IP stream for distribution to more than 1,000 Cisco-networked televisions placed throughout the stadium.
Gilston was contracted by the New York City Department of Design & Construction for this internationally recognized new ground-up museum building in part of the first phase to expand and eventually replace the existing Bronx Museum of the Arts facility.
