The event was not only a thank you to the employees, but also marked a significant milestone: Brack has been the title sponsor of the Super League – now Brack Super League – since the 2025/26 season. The choice of location could hardly have been more fitting.
Empa is the ETH Domain's interdisciplinary research institute for materials science and technology. The Academy serves as a platform for knowledge transfer and builds bridges between science, industry, and the general public.
The Academy Plenum offers space for 256 people and can be divided into two smaller, independent rooms: Academy I and II. These are used for conferences, courses, seminars, presentations, events, and internal employee information. We now had the opportunity to take over the lighting design for the hall lighting in the Academy I and II rooms. Area, ambient, and ambient lighting were integrated into the existing AMX control system.
Recessed spotlights from Prolicht with 4000 Kelvin and Tunable White technology were used for the lighting. In addition, RGB W LED strips replaced the existing FL luminaires on the ceiling sides to create a stylish ambience. The lighting is characterized by a color rendering of at least Ra (CRI) 90 as well as homogeneous uniformity and standard-compliant horizontal illuminance. The individual luminaire groups are DALI dimmable.
The new lighting concept was implemented by the local electrician in summer 2024.
We were responsible for advising on, designing, and planning this fixed installation, making a significant contribution to the technological upgrade of the Empa Academy.
