Pivotal provided lighting design for Northwestern University’s new Ryan Fieldhouse and Walter Athletics Center, consolidating its competitive and recreation facilities while enhancing its athletic program. The complex features state-of-the-art training facilities for both university and Olympic athletes, including a multipurpose indoor competition facility, an outdoor practice field, and associated sports medicine and administrative offices.

Using the latest lighting technology and capitalizing on the abundant available daylight, the facility’s lighting systems offer a flexible multi-layered approach that supports NCAA broadcast, team practice, and intramural lighting requirements.

Pivotal’s architectural lighting design emphasizes each space in a sustainable manner that creates a healthy indoor environment while respecting the historical campus and lakefront setting.
