As day turns to night, the building changes dramatically as the deep green tinted windows that obscure inward views throughout the day reveal a brightly illuminated interior. As a visitor rounds the building, they discover a unique glass canopy. High pressure sodium well lights highlight the mustard colored split-face block wall. The reflected light from the wall provides a comfortable level for the adjacent sidewalk. 35-watt metal halide, wide distribution floodlights with glare shields light the sides of the external structure and glass canopy while 35-watt tight spot metal halide fixtures were integrated above the canopy to uplight the front of the external structure.
Upon entering the building, a continuous slot of light washes the columns and defines the boundary of a sculptural element that extends up into the 3.5 story rotunda. Carefully placed downlights create a calm, inviting atmosphere for the clinical lobbies, while custom-designed 42" diameter glass pendants highlighted with cold cathode reinforce the architectural nodes in the corridors.
