From the IIDA Award Submission Form:

(Fig 1)
Linear perforated pendants accent coffered ceiling while providing low-contrast light for school's office. Compact fluorescent downlights with white luminous frosted disk add sparkle while reducing glare. This creates an attractive reception space.

(Fig 2)
Pulse-start meta halide highbays provide high lumen maintenance and use fewer fixtures than conventional. In conjunction with white ceiling cavity, this saves energy and is easier to maintain. PAR38 step cylinders on track provide additional flexibility for the schools programs.

(Fig 3)
Steel linear fixtures help meet the less than $4.50/square foot budget constraints without compromising aesthetics.

(Fig. 4)
Disk-shaped pendant mount indirect fixtures combined with linear fluorescent fixtures supply variable downlight optics, highlighting spacious volume of room, while maintaining a desired level of light at the workplane.

(Fig 5)
Wall-mounted display lighting in conjunction with valence lighting address the challenge of exposed structure, while creating a nice contrast without sacrificing visibility needs of classroom corridor.

(Fig 6)
As focal point of the building, this area is utilized as display area for student work, and artifacts from Karsher Museum. Compact fluorescent track on brackets provide proper contrasts and focus for displays. Additional fluorescent lighting is added to cases for more sensitive pieces.

(Fig 7)
Pendants emphasize the high ceilings. Color-corrected HID cans supplement and present 20 FC at the floor. All fixtures are accessible by district-owned manlift or ladder.

(Fig. 8)
In transitional space between the gallery hallway, the library and the classroom wing corridors, the mounting heights for the display lighting were designed for large tapestries. Project successfully balanced NREC with aesthetic goals.
