We chose to analyze the lighting of the computer lab. This is primarily used by students when working on IARC projects. It is accessible 24 hours a day and used for certain projects, programs, research and a classroom for students of all years. The lighting is very bright and hurts the eyes when in there for too long. There are 23 suspended fluorescent lights which seem to be too many for such a small space. The space is both public and intimate in different ways. When having class, you are seating closely to one another which makes this a more intimate space. But the space is also used by many people at different times and can accommodate groups. This space is not the best place to do computer work; the glare on the computers is sometimes distracting. If all possible, I do not use the computer lab, the lighting is too bright for a work environment.
