This new two-story 62,000 square-foot outpatient healthcare facility was designed with a primary focus on patient and family comfort with community inclusion. The project features multiple cardiac and vascular clinics, cardiac rehabilitation, noninvasive testing, multiple two-story seating and waiting areas, retail café, an occupiable rooftop garden, and a multi-purpose public educational space with a
demonstration kitchen.
The goal for the interior lighting design was to strike a balance between energy efficiency, functionality, budget constraints and aesthetics while creating a welcoming atmosphere for both occupants and staff. The lighting design utilizing all LED sources, building-wide time clock lighting controls, local/manual dimming controls as well as Luminaires were strategically integrated with architectural elements throughout the facility.

The campus of a small liberal arts university was reinvented with the addition of this three-story Admissions and Welcome Center. The goal for this project was to provide a defined campus gateway which elicits a “WOW!” factor to all campus visitors while maintaining the quaint, traditional feel of the overall campus. This facility has transformed the entire campus, from both a visual and functional standpoint, providing a much needed “welcome” to recruits, students, parents, faculty, and alumni.
The lighting design included fixtures with hidden sources and vertical lighting elements for maximum glare control and visual comfort. All the interior and exterior fixtures utilized LED luminaires. A fully networked, digital lighting control system was provided to allow the University’s facilities manager to remotely monitor energy usage, comply with demand response protocol, and make programming changes. Occupancy-based controls were provided in individual spaces, while larger public spaces had time of day controls through the system head-end as well as local pre-programmed scene controls. Automatic daylight harvesting was provided in spaces with abundant natural daylight.
