Challenge

  • Classrooms, hallways, and the kitchen were dimly lit by old outdated recessed fluorescent fixtures.

  • Replaced the exit signs with LED exit signs.

Key Results

  • Evenly lit and much brighter classroom and hallway spaces for the kids and staff.
  • Safer kitchen work area.
  • Long-term emergency egress safety with the new exit signs.
