At the well-renowned business college, Niels Brock in Copenhagen, the main shared areas of the building are softly illuminated with Patera by Øivind Slaatto. The fixture was chosen because of its modern design based on the Fibonacci sequence.

Selecting effective overall lighting for the classroom, can help to improve general well-being throughout the day, which in turn can help with focus and learning. At Viborg Cathedral School in Denmark, the classrooms are illuminated with LP Circle which provides an evenly distributed glare-free light. These fixtures can even be equipped with DALI control system to ensure that the light follows the rhythm of natural light.

Almost as important as the classrooms, are the spaces in which students and teachers can take breaks during the day. In communal areas, such as large dining rooms, lighting takes on the role of creating a comfortable and cosy environment, that invites users to relax for a while during the day. One brilliant example of this is the dining hall at Aarhus School of Architecture where a mixture of white Louis Poulsen lamps hang at different heights above the dining tables.

Many educational institutions have larger spaces, libraries or reading halls with individual desks or tables designated for learning and solitary work. At the Kawaguchi Municipal High School, these spaces are adorned with the AJ Table Lamp in a number of different colours, which are fixed to the table using a pin mounting solution. The same fixture is used at the Royal Library in Copenhagen, as it provides exceptional downward directed light.

When working on campus projects, the outdoors is just as important as the indoor environment, particularly in the cooler darker months. At Copenhagen University, PH Wall, illuminates the faces of the buildings, particularly around the entrance, inviting students, professors and visitors inside these majestic buildings.
