As part of the Victorian School Building Authority’s commitment to educational excellence, the Government is investing in schools to build, expand, and modernise facilities. Bentleigh Secondary College’s new Performing Arts Centre (PAC) was delivered through this initiative to enhance learning opportunities in the Arts.
Buckford Illumination Group supplied a complete lighting solution throughout the state-of-the-art PAC, which seats up to 500 people. ERCO Atrium Double Focus downlights provide general illumination within the auditorium, while BIG Essential’s Straight Solo linear system delivers architectural feature lighting. The combination of downlights and linear lighting allows for a layered lighting approach that adapts to the space’s varying uses.
Back of house, Digilin Freedom downlights with backstage show mode ensures low-glare blue light, removing disruptions to the audience’s visibility during performances.
This dynamic space supports students and professional artists alike, offering an inspiring environment for rehearsals, productions, and live performances.
