The Digital Learning Center (DLC) is a $48 million, 190,000 sq. ft., design/build project that is 65 to 90 percent more energy efficient than facilities built under older, conventional codes. More than a paper-based book repository, the five-level building supports traditional library amenities along with electronic media. It is home to a cafe, group study rooms, study kiosks and classrooms and is designed for 24-hour use. Spectrum was the engineer of record and provided electrical engineering and technology design services, which included structured cabling and A/V systems. Integrated daylight controls maximize energy efficiency. Emergency power generation and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems for the campus data center located in DLC help ensure data reliability and security. Spectrum was also involved in programming this project.
