As part of development for Elco Yards (https://www.wattlighting.net/elco-yards), new public art was commissioned for various locations throughout the campus.
WATT provided lighting design for the public art (layout, fixture specification, mounting detail coordination) as part of our site lighting work for the entire campus.

4qty metal sculptures by Pard Morrison , 10’ tall x 2.5’ wide x 9” deep.
The sculptures are located in a highly trafficked pedestrian plaza. Lineaer inground uplights with internal shielding avoid glare to passersby.
Painted murals by Kelly Ording, total of 2qty, 13.5ft tall x 55ft wide (north mural) and 100ft wide (south mural).
These murals face a commuter rail corridor with thousands of riders every evening. The murals are uniformly lit, with special care to control glare to the commuter trains as well as pedestrians on the adjacent sidewalk.
Metal sculpture by Nathan Mabry, 13ft tall x 4ft wide.
The sculpture is located in a highly trafficked pedestrian plaza. Inground uplights are carefully positioned with internal shielding to avoid glare to passersby. Mockup tests by WATT evaluated multiple fixture options and lens modifications needed to balance illumination on the base and upper portions of the sculpture.
