While also helping connect the building to nature

Cooper Lighting, an industry leader committed to delivering innovative products and driving transformational technology in the lighting industry, recently provided lighting solutions to the University of Kansas’ Studio 804 design team to illuminate Galileo’s Pavilion, a studentdesigned building on the campus of Johnson County Community College (JCCC). Products include Halo LED recessed downlights, Neo-Ray Straight and Narrow suspended luminaires, and Sure-Lites LED Edge-lit exit signs. These products were chosen to provide energy-efficient illumination and to help meet sustainable goals on the ever-expanding college campus.

Built to do more than simply house classrooms, Galileo’s Pavilion was designed to inspire students, faculty, and the general public both now and throughout the building’s future. The building, which features two ‘inspired’ classrooms as well as a student lounge, serves as a teaching tool for the college’s faculty to educate students about sustainable design by transforming the physical campus into a living learning laboratory. Many features, including the choice of materials and lighting, the assembly of the wall, and the design of the courtyard, illustrate the strong commitment JCCC has to sustainable design while also helping connect the building to nature and its surroundings.

"Cooper Lighting assisted us in acquiring energy efficient task specific lights for all our space types,” said Stephanie Stone, LEED AP BD+C, University of Kansas Studio 804 graduate. “Its Neo-Ray fixtures with emergency back-up options and modern exit signs allowed us to keep a clean modern aesthetic. The Halo LED downlights, which are featured throughout the space, allowed us to cut energy costs significantly to maintain our overall theme of sustainable, efficient design.”
