Academic & Healthcare Inspiration
Part 1, Lighting examples in Communal Spaces of Academic & Healthcare settings
Academic and Healthcare institutions uphold similar qualifications in architectural design and function. These facilities have to maintain a certain energy and mood to ensure individuals are performing at their best. Lighting solutions play a critical role in creating a space’s function and atmosphere; from lighting design- color finishes configurations, to light performance- color temperatures and beam angles.
COMMUNAL SPACES or open areas that are accessible to all personnel require a certain lighting design to define the purpose of the space. A light solution is most often complimentary to the architecture and creates unspoken communication for the visitor. Not only do you want to consider the general function of the room when selecting a lighting solution, but also the aesthetic and emotion you want to convey.
