Background
Sweet Briar College is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and occupies more than 2,800 acres of land. Sweet Briar is a private women’s college with an academic focus on leadership and innovation. Their nationally ranked Equestrian Program and facilities is recognized as one of the best in the country and is a staple in the school’s 100 plus year history.

Opportunity
Sweet Briar began a renovation project of their stables with the objective of enhancing the facilities to cultivate current scholar-athletes, and recruit and attract top riders, instructors and trainers to the nationally ranked program. The facility manager was looking for a way to not only plan for the facilities’ lighting needs, but be able to gain approvals from multiple stakeholders easily.

Solution

• Light ARchitect App
• Shaper 1800 Performance Pendants

The Light ARchitect App allowed the facility manager to easily build a lighting plan that allowed him to place fixtures in the space and experiment with colors, number of fixtures, and submit the plan to his stakeholders for an easy approval.
