Create Ambience in a Primary Circulation Area

May 21, 2025

“We believe the lighting design of a space can make or break a project’s success,” says Elisabeth Martin, Principal at MDA Designgroup, who designed the lighting scheme for the various program spaces throughout the Oceanside Library in Oceanside, NY. “Libraries depend on quality of light distribution to showcase their resources, enhance what we call ‘people space,’ and support staff work needs,” she says. 

In the Main Spine, or primary traffic circulation area, USAI’s slender profile lights–including the BeveLED 2.2 Basic 4.5"—helped solve the challenge of a complex ceiling structure, adding ambient light in a space that features comfortable armchairs in relaxed seating arrangements.
