  3. Building Background • Location: 1800 Johnson St. Baltimore, MD. • Architecture (Design and Functional Components): Five story, 170,000 square foot facility • Fourth: Multi-purpose center, computer classroom, office space, auditorium, and three formal lobbies • Third: Tenbroek Library and Research Center and classrooms • Second: 36 classrooms, office space, and archive storage • First: Parking garage with main lobby and foyer (Southern portion at street level with the northern portion below grade) • Lower level: Parking garage (below grade) with storage space

  4. Building’s Function • Enablethe disseminate the latest teaching techniques to teachers of the blind. • Educateparents of blind children of the cutting edge technology upon which their children’s success hinges. • Informadults and older people losing vision the ease of learning Braille. • Fosterthe direction and growth of adaptive technologies through a dedicated incubator center, to develop new ways to utilize computer systems with speech and Braille.

  5. Area of Study *Pic of 4th floor plan to be added* • Computer Classroom • Multi-purpose room • Founders Gallery and Lobby *not addressing outdoor space*

  6. Topics of Discussion • Lighting Computer Classroom (2 options and cost comparison) • Emergency Power Redesign (electrical breadth) • Lighting Multi-purpose room • Acoustical study • Daylighting Study in Lobby and Atrium • Lighting Lobby and animation

  7. Lighting Design Criteria for the Partially Sighted • Safety issues: Clearly define circulation and emergency egress patterns without using distracting patterns. • Eliminate Glare: Keep bright luminaires out of occupant’s field of view (direct and reflected) • Increased Illuminance: For certain disabilities, 2 to 3 times the recommended ambient level will be required for visual tasks. • Adaptation Sensitivity: Introduce changes in illuminance level in a slow, comfortable fashion. • Contrasts: Increase luminance ratios of near to far field objects without creating glare.
