Harry S Truman Library and Museum

Schuler Shook specified both the fixed architectural lighting and the exhibit lighting, including lighting integral to the exhibits. Working with the architects, the exhibit designer, and the owner, the lighting highlights artifacts, text panels, and exhibit furnishings while adhering to the stringent National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) standards for the protection of artifacts. LED fixtures on dimmers controlled by occupancy sensors ensure precious artifacts are not exposed to any unnecessary light and that strict foot candle limits are maintained. 

Special consideration was paid to wayfinding, readability of texts, and access for all patrons. In addition to the light fixtures and light fixture layout, Schuler Shook designed a control system that integrates with the A/V system to both support interactive features and areas that contain theatrical lighting and video shows.
