At WSP USA Lighting, we believe that light changes everything. Creative and integrated lighting design helps to create spaces that are alive with energy, whimsy and delight. We foster collaboration in everything we do. WSP lighting designers bring experience that bridges architecture, art, theatrical design and engineering. We enable creative architectural lighting design concepts with technical expertise. Our team works closely with client and design teams to provide high level concepts that can be carried through construction to create dynamic, memorable, and highly functional spaces. We practice a skilled balance of aesthetics and experiential qualities of design, with function and constructability, as well as budget and schedule constraints.

We are future-focused and challenge the status quo. Our team is passionate about applying lighting intelligently to support program functions that foster high performance spaces and building systems while reinforcing the overall architectural expression. Our diverse projects include hospitality, sports lighting and venues, healthcare, workplace, retail, site and landscape, civic government, residential, urban development and master planning. As health outcomes and productivity are deeply influenced by light, our thought leadership in the field helps us to illuminate environments capable of supporting human health and well-being, using the latest in lighting research to calibrate circadian rhythms and visual acuity. Through work in medical facilities and workplaces, we create balanced integrations of daylight and electric lighting to enhance the user experience, circadian stimulus, and control for time of day changes.
