PA Career Space proposal
For this space I realized we might be dealing with an energy problem with such a large space that needs a lot of light at the task plane. The allotted criteria is 1.25 w/sf.
My thinking was a possible skylight system of no more than six skylight wells. With the finished ceiling a few feet away from the top of the roof it seems like a great idea to get some daylight in the space while also saving energy. The ceiling is a drop ceiling with steel bracing above that. Then the solid insulation to the roof is about 1 foot. Studies have also proven that not only are people more happy when they work in a daylit area, but are also more efficient.
In addition to the skylights, several rows of indirect linearcompact florescent fixtures will be used to fill in the rest of the room.

Issues to deal within an entrance/lounge space- -It is the first space a person sees in a building. It sets the tone for everything else
so it should be very well thought out
- -Make a point to adjust the light levels for daytime/nighttime needs
- -Color rendering issues
- -Facial modeling
Issues to deal with in this specific space-Dealing with the all brick walls

Entrance/Lounge Proposal
For this space I’m proposing to use the common 2x2 or 2 x 4 troffers. This will fit well with the drop ceiling and also have a more industrial look. However, in conjunction with trying to be simple but not boring I’m going to use a slightly different approach. The lamps would actually be set back into the ceiling with the sides sloping up towards the center to create a triangle look. This will give the space a much more unique appeal

Issues to deal within a lobby space-Similar to Entrance area in that it should portray the theme of the building very
strongly
- Facial rendering
- Color rendering issues
Issues to deal with in this specific space- Dealing with the very high ceiling in a very low square footage area
- -Acknowledging that this space is the only space visible to passer bys and should be a good nighttime beacon.

Lobby Proposal
For the lobby, I’ve decided to go with only two fixture types. The first one will be a simple half sphere (maybe slightly flattened) with a metal halide PAR downlight. This will be used during daytime for general lighting of the lobby. It will project a strong, durable yet modern feeling.
During the night hours, I’m also proposing to “outline” the stairway. By both uplighting and downlighting the stringers and columns that box in the stairways. This would be a great way to grab attention at night from passer-bys since the stairs are already the focal point of the huge glass façade. I believe this will also evoke a sense of establishment and purpose for the building.

Exterior Proposal
The exterior will experience the most complete overhaul than any of the other spaces. With such a large amount of concrete devoted to a walk-way extending along both wings of the building, I think the use of bollards would be a great idea. These bollards would be of the same stainless steel color I have proposed for the lobby pendants. Then a possible strip lighting along the top of the architectural wall that’s above the entrance. This will help to locate the entrance and draw people towards it. I will also use this approach across the glass curtain wall on the front of the building Also to help locate the main entrance and other side entrances, some subtle, quite exterior downlights.
