PORT MELBOURNE SECONDARY COLLEGE
The challenge Getting lighting right across a brand new school
Port Melbourne Secondary College was a brand new build. They needed lighting for every space – from classrooms and stairways to display cabinets, labs and the gym. It had to be safe, energy efficient and up to Australian Standards. There were a lot of different areas with various needs. Classrooms needed even lighting for learning. Labs needed bright task lighting. Emergency exits had to meet safety rules. Everything had to be delivered on time for the build schedule.
We worked with the electrical contractors to choose the best
luminaires for each space. They picked us because we know lighting inside and out and deliver what we promise.
