The new three-story Harold Alfond Athletics and Recreation Center at Colby College in Waterville, Maine, was designed to create a cutting-edge Division III athletic environment. Hopkins Architects (London, UK, lead architect) and Sasaki (Boston-based architect of record) knew lighting would be key to get right and invited HLB Lighting Design to join the project team. Where high-bay fixtures were used (the fieldhouse, a competition gymnasium, and ice rink), HLB specified a direct/indirect luminaire, the Phuzion PHS LED high bay, to cut down on the contrast ratio.
Phuzion PHS LED high bay luminaires are designed to deliver intentional uplighting, in addition to traditional downlighting. This design can reduce glare and visual contrast by eliminating the cave-like atmosphere of high-bay applications and creating unprecedented lighting uniformity for an open look and feel you can see. Its distinctive design ships standard with 86% downlight and 14% uplight.
