The interior lighting scope included new lighting for revamped galleries, entry, main lobby, bookstore, north entry, and meeting rooms. Light levels in the galleries were individually set for each unique exhibit item to help preserve the various historical materials on display. Other interior spaces now show a thoughtful blend of fixture types that provide visual interest and improved light levels throughout.
Newberry Library - First Floor Renovation
Chicago, IL
This Chicago Landmark building underwent its first major renovation since the 1980’s, making the entry and main floor spaces more welcoming and accessible.
Schuler Shook’s exterior lighting design showcases the arched main entry, providing an appealing glow after dark. Careful coordination and detailing was required to keep the new fixtures unobtrusive and to comply with historic preservation guidelines.
