Students Place in Lighting Competition

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Interior architecture and product design students Katie Gall and Heather Wise received an Award of Recognition in the 2009 Cooper Lighting SOURCE Awards Competition.

The SOURCE Awards competition, now in its 33rd year, is open to all lighting designers, architects, engineers, professional designers and consultants who use Cooper Lighting fixtures in an interior or exterior design project. Students currently enrolled in any of these disciplines are also eligible to enter projects based on conceptual lighting designs utilizing Cooper Lighting fixtures and are judged in a separate student category.

Cooper Lighting is to a leading provider of innovative, high quality lighting fixtures and related products for worldwide commercial, industrial, residential and utility markets.

The 2009 competition sought a creative use of fixtures providing energy-efficient design solutions in addition to standard projects. Projects were judged on the blending of aesthetics, creative achievement, and technical performance and the degree to which the lighting met project constraints and design concept goals. The SOURCE Awards competition was created to further the understanding, knowledge and function of lighting as a primary element in design.

The lighting design was completed in a lighting class under the supervision of Professor Neal Hubbell while the facility design was done under the direction of Professor Fayez Husseini.

Gall, from Independence, MO, and Wise, from Bucyrus, KS, expect to receive their Master of Interior Architecture and Product Design later this month. Their project was done under the supervision of Professors Neal Hubbell and Fayez Husseini.
