Acheson Light Lab
Light Lab, an ingeniously subtle science lesson, is a space designed to encourage curiosity. Constructed of textured concrete block and seven different kinds of glass, Light Lab rises nearly 40 feet and showers visitors with patterned light and color as the sun’s rays pass through the glass. The principles of reflection, refraction, absorption, transmission, diffraction and diffusion are illustrated.
