The major owner is a firm believer in form over function. And his wife works for a design firm. (Not coincidentally, the same firm that put this thing in.)
When we first heard about it going in, we were shown pictures of a much larger project, with more lighting. Well, one thing led to another (more like poor functional design) and the budget was blown. But he had to have his wall.
It looks like I'm going to have to up the pressure for someone to install some sort of lighting that can at least be turned on over night for a few hours. That may at least give this thing a fighting chance!
