Taking after the [aesthetic of fungi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duk-series), the lighting solutions are the work of design firm [Tengbom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tengbom) and housed within a new building by Juul Frost architects. The lighting solutions sprout upward from the study tables and are outfitted with outlets to provide power to students' devices. The whimsical design of the study hall lighting solution allows them to give a cheery disposition to the modern interior space of the new building.
