Cardinal Newman High School is to say the least a bold bit of architecture. Visible from the motorway that runs around the outside of Bellshill, it was chosen as an exemplar project by North Lanarkshire Council as part of the development of their lighting strategy for the seven towns of the largest unitary authority area in Scotland.
The scheme uses LED lightbars with wallwash optics to illuminate 140 individual windows which were treated with a special film to allow them to light up as well as distinctive rooftop structures.
The scheme was developed to be addressable through SMS messaging and RSS feed opening up possibilities for community engagement and influence over this unique scheme.
