PROJECT DETAILS

At the heart of Fordham University's historic Rose Hill campus, the newly expanded McShane Campus Centre bridges tradition and modernity through architecture and light. Designed by HLW, the building's striking façade features vertical glass and stone elements that create rhythm and transparency — illuminated to perfection by Lumenpulse Lumenbeam Large and Lumenfacade Inground luminaires.

The lighting design accentuates the building's soaring geometry and material contrasts, bringing warmth and depth to the exterior while maintaining a refined collegiate atmosphere. The Lumenbeam Large uplights highlight vertical stone piers with crisp precision, while Lumenfacade Inground fixtures subtly graze glass fins and entrances, guiding students and visitors with soft, even illumination.

By blending architectural integrity with performance-driven lighting, Fordham's McShane Campus Centre stands as a beacon of community and innovation, a contemporary expression of light that honours the university's legacy while defining its future.
