The Lower School Gym in a New Light

Today, there is an electrician named Luis Ossa working in a lift to remove giant antique light bulbs– 400 watt metal halide lamps–from the ceiling of the Lower School Gym. He is working in the dark to replace those lights with modern, efficient LEDs. And while he’s up there, he’s clearing out volleyballs and other items long stuck between beams.

Large, old lights next to compact, new ones

Tomorrow, the gym will be a brighter place to learn and play, and it will use less than half the electricity it did before. This is the first in a series of upgrades that will help DA meet its commitment to reducing carbon emissions by 25%.

SustainABLE DA is on the way!
