Campus Outdoor Lighting

“The Starry Night” | Vincent van Gogh

The IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee has completed a chapter on recommended practice for designing, building, operating and maintaining campus exterior lighting systems in the forthcoming IEEE 3001.9 Recommended Practice for the Design of Power Systems for Supplying Commercial and Industrial Lighting Systems; a new IEEE Standards Association title inspired by, and derived from, the legacy “IEEE Red Book“. The entire IEEE Color Book suite is in the process of being replaced by the IEEE 3000 Standards Collection™ which offers faster-moving and more scaleable, guidance to campus power system designers.

Campus exterior lighting systems generally run in the 100 to 10,000 fixture range and are, arguably, the most visible characteristic of public safety infrastructure. Some major research universities have exterior lighting systems that are larger and more complex than cooperative and municipal power company lighting systems which are regulated by public service commissions.

While there has been considerable expertise in developing illumination concepts by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, Illumination Engineering Society, the American Society of Heating and Refrigeration Engineers, the International Electrotechnical Commission and the International Commission on Illumination, none of them contribute to leading practice discovery for the actual power chain for these large scale systems on a college campus. The standard of care has been borrowed, somewhat anecdotally, from public utility community lighting system practice. These concepts need to be revisited as the emergent #SmartCampus takes shape.

Electrical power professionals who service the education and university-affiliated healthcare facility industry should communicate directly with Mike Anthony (maanthon@umich.edu) or Jim Harvey (jharvey@umich.edu). This project is also on the standing agenda of the IEEE E&H committee which meets online 4 times monthly — every other Tuesday — in European and American time zones. Login credentials are available on its draft agenda page.

Electrical Switch Station #8

Construction progress update: May 24, 2024

This project restores the Old Art Gallery building for a new electrical switching station. The 1904 building was originally the campus powerhouse, supplying electricity and steam to the young Berkeley campus. As the campus grew, power demands exceeded its capacity and, in 1930, a new central plant opened in the southwest part of campus. In 1934, the former powerhouse building reopened as a gallery to display art and served this purpose until a new University Art Museum opened on Bancroft Way in 1970. The building was subsequently used for storage for more than 50 years.

In restoring and structurally improving the Old Art Gallery building to house the new Switch Station #8, the small brick building that began its storied life as a powerhouse more than 100 years ago will become a key component in UC Berkeley’s 100% clean energy future.

The University Campus As A Designed Work and an Artefact of Cultural Heritage

The University Campus in the United States—As a Designed Work to Produce Knowledge; and as an Artefact of Cultural Heritage

Paul Hardin Kapp
School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, United States

ABSTRACT: The university campus in the United States is a unique architectural and landscape architecture typology. Nothing like it existed until Harvard University was established in 1638. Invented during in the 17th century by the American colonists and later developed during the American Industrial Revolution, the American campus is a community devoted to teaching and generating knowledge. It can be urban, suburban, and/or rural in form and its planning directly correlates with a university’s research mission and the pedagogy of the American university system. Its buildings and landscapes are embedded with iconography, which the founding builders used to convey their values to future generations.

This paper presents the history of how this designed work first emerged in American society and then evolved in ways that responded to changes that occurred in America. At the end of the 20th century, universities conserved parts of them as cultural heritage monuments. Originally, the university campus was built to disseminate a classical education, but later, the campus was built for technical and agricultural education. By the beginning of the 20th century, professional education and sport changed its architecture and landscape. The paper briely discusses that while it has inspired how universities are built to teach and generate knowledge throughout the world. It concludes by reairming its value to cultural heritage and that it should be conserved.

George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum

The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, located on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, was designed by architect Robert A.M. Stern. The library was dedicated on April 25, 2013, and it serves as the official library and museum for the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush.

Robert A.M. Stern is a prominent American architect known for his work on various projects, including academic buildings, museums, and residential structures. His design reflects a traditional and monumental architectural style that combines elements of classicism with contemporary design features. The library, located on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, was opened to the public in 2013.

Here are some features of the Stern design:

Neo-Classical Style: Robert Stern’s design for the George W. Bush Library draws inspiration from classical architectural elements, particularly evident in the grandeur of its facade. The building features symmetrical lines, grand columns, and a sense of balance and proportion reminiscent of classical architecture.
Materials: The exterior of the library is clad in Texas Cordova Cream limestone, which gives the building a timeless and elegant appearance. The use of this indigenous stone connects the library to its Texas roots while also conveying a sense of permanence and strength.
Grand Entrance: The entrance to the library is marked by a grand portico supported by tall columns, evoking the imagery of ancient Greek and Roman temples. This creates a sense of importance and significance befitting a presidential library.
Light-filled Interior: Inside the library, natural light floods the space through expansive windows and skylights, creating an inviting and uplifting atmosphere. The interior spaces are designed to be open and airy, with high ceilings and ample room for exhibits and displays.
Landscape Design: Surrounding the library is a carefully landscaped campus that includes native Texas plantings, walking paths, and outdoor gathering spaces. The landscape design complements the architecture of the building and provides visitors with opportunities for reflection and relaxation.

We refer to him as American Vitruvius, given his influence on the architecture of so many educational settlements; reflecting classical elegance with contemporary functionality.
