IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES. TARGET FIELD METRO TRANSIT STATION TARGET CASE STUDY: CASE STUDY:

The lighting design for Target Field Metro Transit Station extends to a nearby underpass, where color-changing iLight Hypnotica LED fixtures provide a dynamic display overhead. AN iLIGHT SUCCESS STORY PROJECT Public Space SITE INNOVATIVE TEAMING OF BASEBALL Minneapolis, MN AND TRANSIT LOCATION Exterior application iLight LEDs Create a Striking “Visual Signature” in the PRODUCT USE Twin Cities Direct (Hypnotica) and Indirect (Plexineon) views Target Field Metro Transit Station in downtown Minneapolis represents a whole new LIGHTING DESIGN concept in public transit. Schuler Shook DESIGN ARCHITECT Located adjacent to Target Field — home to Major League Baseball’s Minnesota Twins — Perkins Eastman Architects the open-air, 60-acre multi-modal transportation hub is becoming a communal backyard PRODUCT for the Twin Cities. This urban gathering space uniquely integrates commuter trains, a Hypnotica and Plexineon light rail station, bus service, and parking with green space, retailers, an amphitheater, White 2X 2800 and more.

Perkins Eastman Architects’ vision for Target Field Station extended well beyond transit. The goal was an iconic destination for game-day activities, as well as year-round activities and events like movie nights, festivals and concerts.

At night, the lighting design provides “a visual signature” that extends to the Hypnotica–illuminated underpass, says Paul Whitaker, Senior Lighting Designer at Minneapolis- Plexineon provides a soft glow for walking surfaces that lead to commuter trains, a based Schuler Shook. light rail station, bus service, parking and more.

“Hypnotica was the perfect fit for this application. Whitaker has already used iLight Plexineon LED fixtures many Its compact size, the look of the product when lit, times before with great success. Elsewhere on the project, he mounted Plexineon White 2X 2800 fixtures under benches to and its programmability help make this project provide a soft glow for adjacent walking surfaces. The glow a success.” gives the paths a soft, romantic feel — in contrast to the bold, direct view of Hypnotica. Paul Whitaker, Senior Lighting Designer Schuler Shook The Plexineon Advantage Hypnotica offered many important advantages. “We like that “The space under a bridge is usually devoid of character,” it’s so thin,” Whitaker says. “It’s very compact, while providing he says. “Adding kinetic lighting introduces an energetic a lot of light.” vibe, and gives the lower section of the park its own dynamic look.” Also, by day the fixtures nearly disappear into custom channels designed by Perkins Eastman. And, Hypnotica is limitlessly programmable. “It’s programmed in very small increments,” Whitaker says. “It’s amazing how many different possibilities there are. Even though the fixtures are laid out in an irregular pattern, we were able to get many different effects with them.” The “go-to” program revolves around red, white and blue — a nod to the Twins and Target Corp. On game days, the effects are more robust, with side-to-side, strobe-like sweeps of color. “Hypnotica was the perfect fit for this application,” Whitaker says. “Its compact size, the look of the product when lit, and its programmability help make this project a success.”
