Chamber of Commerce Arnsberg/ VWA Hellweg-Sauerland.
Seminar room redesign.
The focus of this project was the modernization and redesign of the seminar rooms
of the Administration and Business Academy Hellweg-Sauerland. The aim was to
create rooms with multiple use as seminar, conference and event rooms. The use
of the Brumberg lighting concept vitaLED® played a key role in the implementation.
The RGBW colour light enables different room utilisation through different, easily
controllable light scenarios.
Motivated learning in the right light.
How can standard seminar rooms of an academy be trans-
formed into lively learning landscapes? How do you break
away from rigid room concepts and equip rooms with flex-
ible use and pleasant surroundings? The Arnsberg archi-
tectural firm Keggenhoff | Partner had to answer these
questions in a challenging modernization project of the
Chamber of Commerce Arnsberg. The existing seminar
rooms of the Administration and Business Academy Hell-
weg-Sauerland had to be rebuilt in such a way that they
could be easily redesigned for various purposes. Sliding
walls instead of fixed walls initially created the variability
in terms of room size. In order to be prepared for various
events ranging from seminars and company workshops to
evening events, the decision was made to use intelligent
light and lighting.
vitaLED® for more concentration.
Learning in a modern working environment. For the stu-
dents of the VWA Hellweg-Sauerland, this often means
that they attend their seminars on weekends or in the
evening after work is done. In this case it is good to be able
to learn with full concentration and efficiency. With this
in mind, the architect Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Sabine Keggenhoff
wanted the Brumberg Vitallicht vitaLED® from her lighting
designers (Gebro Herwig Engineering, Arnsberg). This has
a decisive advantage: In addition to the RGB colour space
(red, green, blue), the RGBW colour light enables stepless
control of the white light (from 2,000 K to 10,000 K). This
allows the blue light components in the white light, which
are important for the concentration and performance of
the human organism, to be optimally controlled.
If the seminar rooms are to be converted into event rooms
for evening events, the vitaLED® control and light sources
can be used to implement and activate various colourful,
atmospheric scenarios. In interaction with light beamers
and moving heads, impressive lighting scenarios are cre-
ated that have convinced and inspired the clients. In this
project, Brumberg supplied the control system and the il-
luminants. Because the latter had to be installed in existing
luminaires as part of the modernization, Brumberg devel-
oped a special adapter ring.
The overall concept has demonstrated its worth in prac-
tice. The rooms can now be used in a much more varied
way and the feedback from the students is also extreme-
ly positive. This project is a prime example of what can
happen when architecture, planning and lighting design go
hand in hand.
