Under stair storage and mechanical rooms are lit with square DRD5S’s. The Reception is welcoming with general lighting provided by the DRD2 with square trims. A pathway of DCC2 cylinder pendants with decorative trims guide you through the Library and Corridor with three DCC4 cylinder pendants accenting the artwork at the entrance of the Conference Room doors. The Break-room general lighting utilizes the DRD2 and round trims with the exception of three round wall wash trims to accent display walls.
