Greenwich Academy
  • Architectural Overview
  • The building itself is designed to look and feel
    open and bright.
  • Contains many sustainable design elements, such
    as planted roofs, stormwater management, and
    recycled materials.
  • Structure is based on laminated wood columns and
    steel beams and girders.

  • Breadth 1 Library HVAC revision
  • Breadth 2 Library Cost Analysis
  • Space 3 Science Room 1
  • Electrical Work Science Room

9
West Corridor
  • The West Corridor is the main circuit of the
    building, leading visitors down from the Main
    Stair, and into the various connected spaces.

10
West Corridor
  • As the primary thoroughfare in the school, this
    corridor is like an artery directing blood
    (people in this case) to the adjacent spaces.

corridors
  • The lighting system should reflect this sense of
    movement.

11
West Corridor
  • Goals for Space
  • Lead visitors into other areas of building.
  • Retain sense of open space.
  • Integrate light quality with daylight.

12
West Corridor
  • Solutions

Lead visitors to other parts of building
  • Use compact fluorescent downlights along center
    of corridor.

13
West Corridor
  • Solutions

Retain Sense of Open Space
  • Use indirect cove lighting to create ambient
    light and prevent boring, dim light in corridor
  • Light on walls and ceiling will give feeling of
    open space.

14
West Corridor
  • Solutions

Integrate light with daylight
15
Library
  • The Learning Center and Reading Room combine
    into one large space to form the Upper School
    library, the largest open space in the building.

16
Library
  • Goals for Space
  • Emphasize open space and clean environment.
  • Create reduced-glare environment for VDT use.
  • Provide strong Illuminance at reading table.
  • At least 40 fc.
  • Reduce/Control daylight throughout space.

17
Library
  • Solutions
  • Emphasize open space and clean environment.
  • Create reduced-glare environment for VDT use.
  • describe use of fixtures and show cut sheets
  • show renderings close up of VDTs
