Abstract
Drawing from an ethnographic study, this project reveals a relationship between genre and the role of natural light in a writing centre. Using observation, interviews, and analysis, the author discovers that students prefer to face natural light during formative writing and sit with their backs to natural light during summative writing or while leading a writing consultation. This revelation about the role of light with respect to the type of writing presents questions about writing centre design and the implications of space created for creative and intellectual pursuits.
