Ensuring people aren't kept in the dark about building? (8)
I believe the answer is:
floodlit
'building?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for floodlit that I've seen before include "Illuminated, eg for sport at night" , "Artificially illuminated" , "was intensely illuminating" , "in the full glare of publicity" , "as late matches are played?" .)
