Harwell Campus
|
The Harwell Campus lighting project supports a thriving community of scientists, engineers and innovators, bringing together world-leading organisations within a modern research environment. With over 6,000 people already based on site and ambitious expansion plans to support more than 15,000, the contemporary Quad Two development required a lighting scheme that balanced architectural integration, visual comfort and long-term performance. Harwell Campus Lighting ProjectThe brief focused on creating a calm, well-lit external environment that enhances safety and supports movement across the campus, while maintaining the refined architectural language of the development. The SolutionFollowing site assessment and consultation, Kingfisher Lighting delivered a coordinated lighting scheme combining architectural detail with functional amenity illumination. COMPASS luminaires were installed across key areas using both standard and urban post-top mounting options. Their clean aesthetic and strong visual comfort performance made them ideal for supporting human-centric design principles. At entrances and circulation zones, RAY downlights in a stainless-steel finish were specified with 29° flood optics, delivering controlled, glare-free illumination. CINEP provided subtle accent lighting to architectural features and under-seat areas, enhancing the campus atmosphere after dark. In communal spaces, DUEVENTI architectural floodlights offered high levels of visual comfort while maintaining a seamless integration with the contemporary surroundings. To further enhance safety, SEMITA Urban wallpacks were installed at key entrances, incorporating 3-hour emergency functionality and photocell control to improve energy efficiency. Key Outcomes
