MEETING ROOMS

Meeting rooms, training areas and conference rooms are the places where people come face‐to‐face with clients or colleagues and where the ideas and decisions which power an organisation are meant to be made. Two good reasons, you might think, for making sure that the lighting in such places enhances their appearance and atmosphere. Yet they are often relegated to the basements and cores of office buildings, with no windows and a lighting scheme more suited to open plan areas with at least some access to natural light. How often have we all sat around tables looking at the shadows under the eyes of the people opposite, trying to avoid the glare of the light fitting just above them or fighting off sleep for sheer lack of visual stimulation.
