Delivering a 6th form reception area that shines
inspirational campus, using innovative technologies to motivate the young minds at the college. It was felt that delivering a contemporary and aesthetically pleasing campus would attract the best staff and students from the area and abroad. As a result, it turned to 299 Lighting to deliver a reception area to make a first impression that would promote this cutting-edge culture of advanced learning. 299 Lighting worked alongside
T
architectural practice Rural Solution to deliver creative lighting for the reception area. Rural Solution came up with a unique symmetrical design of a “sun” above the reception desk, mirroring the design on the floor. To deliver this, the slim ring-shaped
suspended luminaire, the Ouse was used as the centrepiece of the installation. DALI dimming & control was used to
create different ambiences and allow flexible use of the area. Now when the piano is being played, the reception area turns into a music area with soft lighting and soft focus, heightening the experience of those playing and listening to the music. A cooler lighting output is used for occasions when the reception is used for administrative tasks and a warmer output throughout the day to create a
friendly and welcoming environment. Dr Raj Varma, the college’s Lead for
Digital Learning, commented: “We really enjoy the lighting effect that 299 Lighting has created in this room. It makes this room alive, welcoming and it matches all our expectations.”

Brighter future for Archbishop Lanfranc’s Academy
Lanfranc Academy’s new multi-million- pound building in Croydon, South-east London. Thorn worked closely with Halsion Building Service Engineers to deliver a cutting edge, energy efficient, facility with a future-proofed capacity. Archbishop Lanfranc Academy’s
T
previous home, constructed above a landfill site in the 1950s, had long been deemed outdated and dilapidated and was demolished to make way for the new Academy. The Principal, Michael del Río, said: "The state of the building has been a concern for years. In the long-term the school has now got a much better future and the new building will help to ‘win back’ pupils put off by the appearance of its predecessor”. Thorn’s Arena Symphony innovative LED
luminaires with sound absorbing features were chosen to minimise sound

reverberation in the classrooms. Fully compliant with BB93 for optimum classroom performance, Arena Symphony has been designed for total flexibility, offering a choice of infills to adapt the length of the system to match all classroom layouts. The slim profile, 600 x 600 Omega PRO LED recessed luminaires have been installed throughout the office areas to provide excellent glare control (UGR<19/22) and the reduced maintenance delivered by the 50,000 hours’ life of the 4000K LED lamps supplied with the fitting. Thorn’s CiviTEQ, Deco LED and Eyekon
fittings have been used for the external illumination to create an attractive and welcoming appearance for the academy. The school that was once described as unfit for purpose is now an academy with a ‘wow’ factor and a very bright future.
