Lutron’s Manhattan-based Commercial Experience Center is officially open for business. The facility offers architects, designers, contractors, developers, and building owners an immersive overview of Lutron’s lighting and control capabilities. Located in New York’s NoMad neighborhood, just off of Fifth Avenue at 3 E. 28th Street, the center is “designed with the customer journey in mind,” says Scott Hanna, executive vice president of Lutron.

At the core of the center is the Lutron HXL approach, a philosophy of human centric lighting that employs four elements of lighting design—natural light, quality light, connection to the outdoors and adaptive and personalized control—to help people be, work and feel their best.

“The new center provides an immersive experience that reveals how lighting and controls can impact different space types and people’s sense of well-being,” says Hanna. Almost twice the size of Lutron’s original Penn Plaza location, the 5,500-sq ft center puts Lutron’s growing portfolio of solutions on display, including Ketra—dynamic smart lighting that mimics daylight indoors—and Limelight smart exterior lighting control. “We can now highlight more of our comprehensive, innovative product offering,” says co-president Ramin Mehrganpour.

The center is designed to meet the WELL Building Standard supporting occupant health and wellness in the built environment. It is available to visit by appointment and includes dedicated meeting and training spaces for Lutron clients and customers.

Notable aspects of the center include: 

Solutions for a wide variety of building types. Lutron controls offer distinct benefits to workplace environments, hotels, and educational institutions – all of which are specifically addressed at the new center. Indeed, the space incorporates a complete model hotel suite employing Lutron’s myRoom guestroom control system. 
Dedicated meeting and training spaces for Lutron clients and customers. With New York being a destination city and a hub for international specifiers, Hanna expects a high percentage of visitors to come from outside the United States. 
A broad landscape of Lutron products. Lutron solutions on display include Ketra, Limelight, myRoom, T-Series tunable white, the Quantum lighting control and energy management system, EcoSystem technology, and Vive wireless controls. 
WELL certification. The center is designed to meet the WELL Building Standard supporting occupant health and wellness in the built environment. WELL dovetails with Lutron’s approach to human centric lighting, Lutron HXL, which promotes comfort, enables enhanced well-being, and fosters engagement.
