With an architectural approach to the lighting of this classroom facility, clean ceilings and varying light levels defined many of the spaces.  Lighting of the two-story atrium draws students, faculty and visitors to the core of the building with a high light level accentuating both the silver-leaf ceiling above and the lounge area below.  Signature spaces include a curved, mosaic tile entrance canopy and a multi-story library with custom-designed chandeliers utilizing a high-efficiency induction light source.  The lighting addresses the multi-purpose nature of this contemporary academic building, which includes a library, computer lab, classrooms, lecture halls, offices, and student break-out spaces.
