Limited street lighting on the American Farm School campus in Thessaloniki, Greece presents safety hazards to pedestrians and motorists on campus roads. Through interviews, direct observation, and textual research, we identified the areas that most need increased lighting, and developed systems and funding strategies to meet these needs. To provide adequate lighting while limiting light pollution and maintaining the natural aesthetic of campus, we recommend low temperature covered LED lamps powered by roof-mounted solar panels to mitigate the long-term electricity expenses.
