Campus Lighting Design | On Demand
- Brought to you by Landscape Forms
- Where Offices or Virtual
- Time 1 hour
Course Description
There are a lot of variables that impacts whether a student feels connected to the college or university that they
attend or how an employee interacts with the corporate campus at which they work. The right lighting strategy
can dramatically improve daily campus activity, whether educational or corporate, and use of the campus into
the evening hours. This CEU will discuss how one design firm approached the outdoor lighting of an educational
campus’ central quad and its hierarchy of pathways to not only connect the buildings, but also create a sense of
community. In addition, other lighting design use cases will also be explored – from small plazas to large, open
areas – to showcase how the lighting can be tailored to maximize the spaces that are being lit.
Objectives
At the end of this program, participants will know:
• Understand the context of campus design and how that helps to determine how a designer approaches
lighting those spaces.
• Discuss the many variables that can impact the overall lighting on a project.
• Share how lighting influences the aesthetics of the campus at night and how color temperature can be
an important design tool to establish that.
• How the design came together and how it has impacted campus life and campus usage.
• Discuss other educational as well as corporate campuses and how the lighting design and application
helped to achieve the design goals for the space.
