Vanderbilt's Carmichael & Rothschild Colleges Win IES Illumination Award

We’re honored to share that both Carmichael and Rothschild Residential Colleges have received Merit Awards from the Illuminating Engineering Society’s (IES) Illumination Awards program.

Presented annually, the IES Illumination Awards celebrate exceptional lighting design that exemplifies creativity, technical execution, and lasting impact. What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that each submission is evaluated independently—judged on its own merit, not in competition with others—emphasizing originality and excellence in the craft of illumination.

These awards are a testament to the thoughtful collaboration between our design team, consultants, and client partners. Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing these projects to light—your work continues to inspire and set new standards.
