Lighting The Way... Naturally

The architectural forms evolved in order to create the most beneficial passive daylighting design strategy. Classrooms on the second level have direct light from above via roof monitors and windows, allowing for even lighting throughout the room. Classrooms on the first floor receive daylight via light shafts that penetrate between classrooms on the second floor to rooms on the first. Each classroom is capable of receiving enough daylight throughout the year to only require artificial lighting 30% of the time classrooms are in use.
