The Arab American University of Jenin (AAUJ) is the first private Palestinian joint venture university, founded in year 2000, in collaboration with the California State University (CSU) in Stanislaus County. AAUJ serves the educational needs of over 9,000 students by providing a dynamic learning atmosphere that inspires innovation and has a primarily focus on every student’s success.
Thorn took on the project of illuminating the new stadium of the university. The initial design brief demanded for 1500 lux, which was changed later to 2000 lux as per the FIFA class IV for national televised events. The choice fell on the Mundial R floodlight with 2kW and Mundial C 2kW metal halide lamps. Nearly 320 projectors provide ideal colour TV coverage as well as shadow free and glare free pitch for excellent visibility. Furthermore the illumination helps to show close-up details of players, particularly their faces, at critical moments during the match.
The Mundial fittings are installed on a height of 46.6m and each mast contains 80 fittings. The rear access and automatic power interruption makes it easy to install and maintain. Furthermore the scenes can be easily changed via intelligent controls depending on the type of event taking place in the stadium, this ensures maximum power saving.
