This prestigious project won multiple lighting design awards in 2008, including a Lumen Award of Excellence, an IALD Award of Merit and an IIDA Edwin F Guth Award of Excellence. The new performing arts center is truly a design of the 21st century owing to a lighting scheme that uses the most advanced metal halide and LED sources and fixtures to create a design that uses 10% less energy than the maximum allowed by California's challenging Title 24 energy codes.
