Emily Carr University Lighting Project With Mac’s II Agencies

May 18, 2023

Share

In partnership with Mac’s II Agencies, WSP, and Houle Electric, our company served as the distributor of products for Emily Carr University’s (ECU) indoor and outdoor lighting project. ECU, a globally renowned institution in the fields of art, media, and design, commenced construction on a cutting-edge campus in Vancouver in 2015. By the summer of 2017, the campus, affectionately referred to as the Great Northern Way Campus opened its doors and has since catered to the needs of more than 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Given ECU’s status as Canada’s premier research-focused university in the creative domain, it was crucial for the lighting solutions used indoors and outdoors to meet stringent criteria.

Our E.B. Horsman & Son team collaborated closely with all parties, including Mac’s II Agencies lighting division, WSP, and Houle Electric, to achieve the desired lighting experience. The objective was to employ visually captivating modern fixtures that offer a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) and a thoughtful approach to light direction. Cooper Lighting Solutions, Contech Lighting, Finelite, and Visa Lighting were also selected for their exceptional quality and finishes, with Cooper Lighting Solutions’ Invue ARB Arbor Post Tops standing out as an exemplary choice. These fixtures not only provide precise illumination for the building’s exterior but also incorporate an organic design that delivers a striking visual impact.

Project Collaborators and Achievements

Houle Electric, the design-assist partner for the Gold LEED-certified campus, received the Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VCRA) Silver Award of Excellence in 2018. Moreover, WSP, a recipient of the IESBC (Illuminating Engineering Society of British Columbia) 2018 Vision Awards. Additionally, they earned an Award of Merit for their contribution to the project.
