Shaffer Dining Hall, Ist Floor

The Shaffer Court Dining Hall has many rows of large Fluorescent drop lighting fixtures on the metal ceiling. This can save alot of energy and power. However, the long term effect can be dizziness and can also result in a headache. Fluorescent light contains alot of blue light, which can raise your awareness and keep you awake longer. 
This rendering of the same interior space shows the three different kinds of lighting in the space. First there is natural light from the windows. The windows are transparent so most of the light will penetrate through. Next there are fluorescent pendant drop light from the ceiling, providing lighting throughout the space, and then there are wall lights on the columns which is shone on a specific area, providing focus.
