LTP completes Great Ormond Street project

Lighting Technology Projects (LTP) has specified and supplied 19 Color Kinetics ColorBlast 12 wall washing LED fixtures and 128 pieces of CK wide angle iColor Cove NXT for the main reception of the new Patient Hotel at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.

The 150 year old Great Ormond Street is one of the world's most famous children's hospital's, and welcomes over 90,000 patients a year. It's currently just completed Phase 1B of an extensive and ongoing modernisation scheme, which has included the creation of the £14 million Patient Hotel development to provide free long and short term accommodation for patients and parents.

To help create an environment that is stimulating, fun and friendly for patients, parents and visitors, a large colourful feature lighting scheme was proposed for the Hotel's pre-reception entranceway by Ove Arup.

It’s well known that light has many therapeutic and healing properties, and good lighting can induce positive moods and feelings.
