Suzzallo Heights
The yellow lights are a new kind of flourescent lamp with a whitish light. Frolich learned that UW staffers in the Glass Shop visited Seattle Stained Glass to find the correct tint to reproduce the look of an old-time incandescent lamp.
When staffer George Guadiz had to repair a drape high in the window of the Suzzallo Reading Room a week or so back, the occasion made for some one-of-a-kind photos of what has been described as one of the country’s most beautiful rooms. Safway Scaffolding custom-built the scaffolds, and Guadiz went to the top of the hall to make the repairs. All photos were shot by Guadiz except the ones in which he is seen. His colleague Erik Frolich, a UW carpenter who worked on the job, brought these shots to University Week and we thought them good enough to share campuswide.
