Most of the incandescent lamps in the General Assignment classrooms have been replaced with LED lamps at this point. Several classrooms have also had new dimmers installed to properly control the lights. Four more buildings have been started and need to be completed.
The SSC awarded $29,500 to upgrade general assignment classroom lighting campus-wide. While Facilities & Services covers the cost to replace lamps that are part of the general illumination, any lights that are used for chalkboards/marker boards, supplemental lighting during slide shows, etc. are excluded. The existing lamps in these fixtures are typically incandescent, which burnout quickly and are energy inefficient. When completed, this project provides new fixture-compatible LED lamps in all general assignment classrooms across campus, reducing electricity costs, improving board visibility, and improving student learning environments.
