  UCL Main Building Gower Street London WC1E 6BT

  Addition of emergency lighting to the Donaldson Library to comply with local authority compliance requirements and British Standards. The current emergency lighting within the Library does not illuminate the exit routes sufficiently to allow safe egress from the area. The proposal is to add twelve luminaires to the main space column locations. The luminaires will be surfaced installed together with associated cabling. The cabling will be hidden wherever possible, with local areas flush installed to reduce the aesthetic impact. The locations and products proposed to be used are detailed on the drawings accompanying and technical information.
