Lighting Evaluation







As a group we chose the lounge on the second floor of the arts building. This room is primarily used for studying, reading, or to just take a break and relax. However, the lighting in this space is not very sufficient, we actually found the lighting to be kind of distracting. The track lighting created obscured views of the space as well as obscured the view of the objects in the space. The lighting creates unwanted shadows that make it hard to see when trying to do work. Since there are no windows in this space allowing very little to no natural light, we think that there should be a better artificial light source to allow proper working abilities. This lounge is primarily a public space, but is not very large, it is sort of a small, quiet space to get away.
As a whole we think the space is very boring. There isn’t enough seating or lounge space, keeping the space from being used to its fullest potential. The space feels cold and uninviting. The lighting in the space does not help the situation either, it’s primarily task lighting with cold light bulbs.
