The PACE Health Sciences Library is one of the 15 branch libraries of the University of Queensland.

The fitout project was to be completed on the top level of a new base building at the PA Hospital site, which is owned by the University of Queensland.

The brief from the architect was to concentrate the lighting design around five key “hero” points located within the space.  All fittings were selected with Energy Efficiency in mind. A complete dynalite system was provided to provide ultimate lighting control; and motion sensor technology was implemented throughout to reduce the energy consumption.

The initial budget for the project was generous, however a simple yet creative solution was provided. This contributed to a significant budget surplus and a happy client.
