LEED Certified building houses many functions with unique visual tasks:
offices, cafeteria, bistro, conference center, two collegia (residential
areas for commuter students.) Collection of 45 pieces of art on display
throughout building. Goal: balance energy conservation, function and aesthetics..
(Fig 2)
Design brings "outdoors in" by utilizing compact fluorescent
pedestrian poles. Approach saves energy and maintenance with fixtures
closer to tasks instead of on ceiling above. During daytime, some fixtures
shut off automatically for additional energy conservation.
(Fig 3)
To increase contrast and save energy, task-ambient approach was used for
artwork lighting. Custom poles edge dining area in the foreground like
an outdoor eating area.
(Fig. 4)
RLMs reinforce the "public market" theme in food court.
(Fig 5)
Jesuit-themed collegium feature is barrel ceiling illuminated with fluorescent
cove, providing light levels sufficient for studying. Task in kitchen
area provides accent and function.
(Fig 6)
Compact fluorescent downlights deliberately positioned in ceiling to highlight
wood structure and cast light on fireplace, revealing natural beauty of
materials.
(Fig 7)
High ceilings are accented with indirect cove. Cove reduces unfavorable
contrast between large windows and interior surfaces.
(Fig. 8)
Decorative low-voltage halogen chandeliers supply ambiance for dining
while dimmable linear fluorescent cove raise light levels for meetings.
(Fig. 9)
Architects's use of perforated materials is reinforced in perforated paneled
sconces, pendants, and lanterns throughout cafeteria.
(Fig. 10)
Bistro provides evening dining and entertainment for students. Wall sconces
contrast linear fluorescent wall washers illuminating menu boards. Dimmable
compact fluorescent downlights rim the perforated metal ceiling dazzled
with twinkling fiber-optic starfield. Lighting energy use (less art lighting)
is 0.85 Watts per square foot.
