Union Middle School Cafeteria

Union Middle School in Sandy, Utah, was developed with “thoughtful design,” that aimed to maintain Union’s tradition as a place where students, families and neighbors build lasting connections. As a new proud cornerstone of the community, the school’s “mission” created a more conducive learning environment. QTL was the ideal lighting choice to achieve the mission.

QTL lighting products helped the architects and lighting designers earn 2024’s “Most Outstanding K-12 Project” award by Utah Construction and Design. The double-height commons and dining area fosters social connectivity with a learning stairway and a spacious student courtyard. Lighting designer Phil Borup commented, “The cafeteria turned out phenomenally with that RGB lighting. When you turn off the overhead downlights, the space just really pops with color. It's really cool at night.” Phil specified TRE3, RGBW-High Efficacy, ESSENTIALS and QTM lighting for the cafeteria and their results appear delectable.
