Warwick Arts Centre’s concert hall uses LSC Control Systems’ APS technology

Warwick Arts Centre, based at the University of Warwick’s Coventry campus, reopened in late 2021 after a four-year redevelopment, choosing APS configurable power distribution technology from LSC Control Systems at the heart of its new technical infrastructure.

Attracting over 300,000 visitors per year, the Warwick Arts Centre offers a 1,450-capacity concert hall, two theatres - a 575-seat main house and a 150-capacity black-box studio - and three cinemas, alongside exhibition and presentation spaces. Managing the technical requirements of the refurbishment was Chief Electrician Mark Smith, who is responsible for lighting and power across the Centre’s auditoria.

The APS units were selected to provide power to the concert hall’s LED-based fixed lighting rig. Ben Steppenbeck of LSC’s UK sales partner A.C. Entertainment Technologies put together a design of two fixed racks of APS (12 x 10 A) for the installation, one with nine units, and another with eight, and supplied the system along with all cabling and accessories. Because of the unexpected downtime caused by the pandemic, Smith and his team were able to carry out the installation themselves.

Two flight-cased, 48-way Genvi racks were bought as a temporary solution for one of the Arts Centre’s smaller spaces prior to the refurbishment process and are still regularly used to deliver flexible dimming solutions around the building.
