Carnegie Mellon’s Hunt Library at Christmas

Hunt Library is an anchor building on the main quadrangle of Carnegie Mellon University. CJL Engineering was hired to design façade lighting to accent the aluminum architectural columns around the perimeter of the building. The building façade is lit with programmable color-changing LED fixtures, allowing the façade lighting to be customized for special events and seasons. The LED fixtures are normally programmed to produce a cool blue color to accent the building’s aluminum fins. Shown here is Christmas season lighting. CJL Engineering design solutions included:

  • Utilized LED color changing fixtures with DMX programmable controls
  • Upgraded existing site lighting to new LED pole mounted fixtures
  • Energy efficient lighting design – consumes 60% less energy than the ASHRAE 90.1 code baseline
