Writing and Critical Inquiry

This project involved the renovation of approximately 12,000 sf of space in the existing Library to serve the needs of the Writing and Critical Inquiry Department. The unique structure of the original Edward Durell Stone design includes sweeping column capitals each with 16 integral lighting troughs cast into the concrete structure giving the illusion of palms. These palms were retrofitted with custom designed fixtures to mimic the original design while using state-of-the-art fixtures with LED lamps for improved energy efficiency, control, and daylighting technology.
