Northern Illinois University Courtyard Lighting Installation
Project Highlight
Overview
Northern Illinois University required new lighting for a campus courtyard intended to be used for ceremonies and special events.
After reviewing the site conditions, Industrial Electric Supply helped identify an LED area lighting solution that would provide the coverage and performance needed for the space. Once the university confirmed existing poles were available in its warehouse, the scope was adjusted to fixture supply only.
What We Delivered
The courtyard previously had no installed lighting infrastructure, requiring a solution that would work with existing poles while delivering sufficient illumination for outdoor gatherings and events.
IES Role:
Conducted on-site project review
Recommended LED area lighting fixtures
Supported lighting layout and coverage planning
Supplied fixtures for installation
Results
Industrial Electric Supply successfully delivered the LED fixtures needed to illuminate the courtyard, creating a functional outdoor space for university ceremonies and campus events.
The project highlights IES’s ability to provide tailored lighting solutions for higher education environments and specialty outdoor applications.
