Campus Lighting Retrofit and Upgrades
As part of Sustainable Columbia’s Plan 2030 and NYC’s Local Law 88, the existing fluorescent light fixtures throughout several CUIMC campus buildings will be upgraded and replaced with LED light fixtures beginning in late August 2024. We anticipate this work will continue through late 2024.
