NEW
YORK, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BrainLit is
delighted to announce the installation of its Biocentric lighting
system at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School. This initiative,
completed in collaboration with Hagerman, positions Brebeuf Jesuit
as a leader in adopting innovative technologies to enhance
educational environments.
Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School is the first high school in
Indiana to implement Biocentric
lighting, a system designed to replicate natural light patterns and
improve the well-being and academic performance of students and
staff. The installation, set to be completed by August, will
revolutionize the school's lighting environment, providing numerous
benefits supported by scientific research.
"Brebeuf Jesuit believes in the care of the whole person, and
mental health and wellness is a key part of that focus," said JD
Ferries-Rowe, VP for Campus Operations at Brebeuf Jesuit
Preparatory School. "The Biocentric lighting in our Tim Boldt
Lounge and our Formation Room helps create an environment that
supports overall well-being and contributes to academic
excellence."
Traditional school lighting often fails to support the circadian
rhythms essential for good sleep and cognitive function. BrainLit's
Biocentric lighting system addresses this by mimicking the natural
light cycle, which helps regulate sleep patterns, reduces stress,
and improves mood and alertness. Studies have demonstrated that
students exposed to blue-enriched light perform better academically
and experience fewer sleep disturbances.
Jeff Hagerman, Chairman of
Hagerman, shared his excitement about the collaboration, stating,
"Partnering with BrainLit and Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School on
this project will provide spaces to enhance the learning
environment. Biocentric lighting is a transformative technology
that we believe will become standard in educational settings."
This installation is part of an ongoing effort by BrainLit and
Hagerman to introduce Biocentric lighting to a variety of
environments, including educational institutions, corporate
offices, and healthcare facilities. The partnership aims to
showcase the versatility and benefits of this advanced lighting
technology.
Kyle Harris, CEO of BrainLit,
emphasized the broader impact of the
partnership, saying, "Our collaboration with Hagerman is
enabling us to reach new heights in creating environments that
enhance well-being and performance. The installation at Brebeuf
Jesuit Preparatory School is a prime example of how Biocentric
lighting can benefit diverse settings."
The successful implementation of this system at Brebeuf Jesuit
Preparatory School sets a new standard for high schools in
Indiana and beyond, demonstrating
the significant passive advantages of adopting Biocentric lighting
solutions.
