Yale University Lanman Wright Hall Lighting Restoration Begins
Seymour, CT – Yale University Lanman Wright Hall, Widely referred to as LDub, houses Pierson and Berkeley freshmen. LDub is notable for having some of the smallest rooms at Yale, with most bedrooms being doubles with bunk beds and common rooms being relatively small. Despite these, LDub affords residents a notably communal atmosphere. Students spend less time in their respective rooms. The courtyard is also well used. LDub entryways are all linked by LDub Courtyard, which is the most popular semi-enclosed place on Old Campus. It is elevated, with benches and trees, and is conveniently located beside Old Campus’s Elm Street entrance, and nearby its High Street one. Because of this, it is often used as a social hub or meet-up point for freshmen.
Grand Light will be restoring seven of the original exterior lanterns. Each lantern will be bead blasted to remove all of the existing finish and a beautiful satin finish will be applied, with the addition of replacement frosted seedy glass panels. All mechanical defects, and missing parts will be repaired and replicated to match the existing components. All fixtures will be rewired with two circuits, one of which will be an emergency circuit, in accordance to UL standards. This historic lanterns will be retrofitted to accommodate modern fluorescent lighting technologies.
