Sustainable Lighting for Artwork Preservation

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
In 2020, the CMU library installed dim lighting around artwork and cultural displays, which turn on only when someone is nearby.
