Warm white would be my choice for lighting color. It never goes out of style, and has that elegant look to it. Personally, I think the bright color led's are a fad.

Speaking to an architect who's been inside, they mention that the Library is quite insular and inward facing.
 
Part of the dark feel may be the gray of the concrete. Paint that concrete white, and it would give the interior a brighter feel. I'm looking forward to seeing more pics of the atrium area.
 
Looks almost ready to move in. Some paint and carpet tile.


Hmm. It will be interesting how they design the spaces around those columns.
 
There's talk going around that it's ahead of schedule and might be ready end of summer.

That would be a godsend! I'd love to be able to use this thing for the last entire half of my Uni career :D
