Veishea Window Lighting Display
A lighting installation project by Adam Covington, an Iowa State University  senior double-majoring in landscape architecture and speech communication, will be on display April 16-22 in the College of Design.

Covington has worked with Pam Iasevoli, associate professor of interior design, over the past two semesters to develop a display of more than 60 fluorescent blue lights in faculty windows on the side of the building that faces campus. The lights, which were installed April 15 and will be up during Veishea, illuminate the windows and part of the offices and create a pattern across the building's facade that is most visible at night.

Covington's project, which was completed through an independent study, honors project and Barbara King Scholarship for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, investigates the impact of lighting on architecture and the landscape by using lighting to define, transform and give identity to the College of Design.
