Louvers

I just came from Jackson Library. The area at the elevators on the first floor needs more lighting for the computers that are across from them. Also, there's a directory by the elevators, but it is pretty hard to see because of how dim it is there.
On the different towers (floors) its excellent how they have brought a lot of natural light into the spaces with the large windows. Its even better that the majority of the task/study stations are far enough away from the natural light, to reduce glare.
Each aisle has fluorescent lamps central to it and equally spaced. All of the fluorescent fixtures have louvers to redirect the light in multiple directions, again reducing glare as you look through the texts.
I didn't check out the bathrooms there yet! haha! Though, I could see observing lighting in public bathrooms becoming an interesting topic in my blog.
