Lighting establishes the mood and perception of Colorado Springs cultural center.
Located at the heart of Colorado Springs near the Pike’s Peak Center and the US Olympic and Paralympic Museum, the Vermijo & Sierra Madre project has transformed this area of downtown with a vibrant lighting design featuring layers pedestrian and accent lighting that provides excellent visibility while enriching the landscape and hardscape.
Contemporary LED pedestrian lighting complements the US Olympic & Paralympic Museum's architecture. Accent lighting is integrated into landscape and streetscape forms that highlight the unique character of the district. Additional electrical outlets are integrated into the landscape and pedestrian lighting to provide power for events and holidays. In collaboration with the City of Colorado Springs Innovation & Sustainability Group, Clanton & Associates coordinated the integration of fiber optic conduit duct banks that provide capacity for the future expansion of 5G small cell, city fiber, and fiber optic interface with street and pedestrian lighting for security and smart city integration.
