Lighting Design
Description
The right lighting design can elevate your mood, create a dramatic atmosphere, or provide a safe and healthy workspace. The lighting industry is undergoing dynamic changes due to legislative acts that limit energy budgets for new construction and retrofitting. There is an increasing need for buildings that are both environmentally responsible and ergonomically sound. Our Certificate in Lighting Design includes the opportunity to get real industry experience through a project-based course guided by an expert lighting designer.
