Stage Electrics Delivers Despite COVID-19 Restrictions

01/03/2021

Stage Electrics has completed the installation of sound, lighting, and theatrical control systems at Les Quennevais School on the island of Jersey. Project managed by Chris Brant, the contract, worth in excess of £220K, was delivered while adhering to COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions.

The new facilities, designed by architects Jersey Property Holdings, offer students state-of-the-art teaching spaces, including a large multi-functional hall for the school’s main theatrical offerings, daily assemblies, and presentations. In addition, the installation included flexible drama studios which can be used as performance or teaching spaces.

Stage Electrics installed three Opus Systems in the new spaces which offer simple and easy to use controls by incorporating industry-standard lighting control from Zero 88 and a DANTE Audio network infrastructure. This connects the performance spaces and music rehearsal rooms to the music department to allow for multitrack recording for exams and rehearsals.  

Paul Letch, Deputy Headteacher Les Quennevais School commented: “It has been a pleasure to work with the expertise that is provided by Stage Electrics. From our first engagement with them, they provided knowledgeable guidance and support through the design phase right to the final training.” He went on to add “I would certainly recommend anyone considering using Stage Electrics for any aspect of their AV set up to make contact and use their considerable expertise both technically and as a company to work with.”

Saul Eagles of Stage Electrics added, “despite a number of challenges around the complexity of getting permissions to get on to the island and obtaining suitable accommodation for our staff we are incredibly proud of the overall outcome of this project.”
