This thoughtful illumination highlights the architectural beauty of the centre, creating a welcoming and safe environment for visitors during the evening hours.

Indoors, a diverse array of lighting solutions enriches the interior spaces. Recessed Cruze troffers from Cooper Lighting Solutions: Metalux provide efficient and even illumination, while the Air (Architectural Lighting System) and Beam wall-mounted luminaires from Axis Lighting offer a blend of functional and ambient lighting. Cooper Lighting Solutions’ Portfolio Downlights and cylinders add focused lighting where needed, while the Jaylum suspended indirect/direct fixtures from Corelite and Define units from Neo-Ray, both from Cooper Lighting Solutions, contribute to the modern and sleek lighting design.

The lighting solutions for the Albion Community Centre were expertly spearheaded by Jennifer Greenizan from Jarvis Engineering.
