Lessons for the future

 
Good lighting control, attractive appearance and economical operation required for £10 million college project in Washington, northeast England. Built around a central atrium or ‘street’, the three-story college can cater for 1,000 students.

Natural light is used in all the main spaces - the building houses a learning resource centre, a computer learning unit and science laboratories - while the artificial lighting, the suspended Jupiter range, gives glare-free lighting with controlled luminance to upper walls and ceiling.

Employing T16 lamps energy consumption is kept to a minimum.
