At the Church of the Ascension in Pittsburgh, the lighting design helps unify the campus and embody its welcoming mission. Thoughtful illumination transforms the formerly dark, constrained corridor into a bright, transparent connector that highlights the historic stone façade of the Parish Hall and guides visitors seamlessly to the Sanctuary. Exterior lighting enhances the new entry plaza, creating a warm, inviting glow that extends fellowship and outreach into the neighborhood. Carefully balanced interior and exterior lighting reinforces comfort, safety, and a sense of community, making the Church a true beacon of light after dusk.
