Arvonne Fraser Library

The upper level, with its floating waffle-slab ceiling and skylights was maintained to closely match the original design. New square LED fixtures were added in a random pattern within the coffers. Aimable surface downlighting was added to provide accent illumination throughout the space. Original glass globe pendants were saved and re-purposed and new illumination was integrated into the skylights.

On the lower level, large circular lighting coffers were updated with LED lighting, creating a bright and playful children’s area. 

In the new common area, Rapson’s ​“push and pull” concept was used around the new ceiling opening to above. Recessed lighting strips complement the geometry of the push and pull ceiling.
