Case Study: Our Lady of the Visitation School

Client: Mossop Builders

Location: Taperoo, South Australia

System Integrator: Energize Integration

Project Stats: 

  • 6 X zencontrol Application Controller
  • 27 X zencontrol Switches
  • 45 X zencontrol Sensors

 

Completed in 2024, the Stage 2 development at Our Lady of the Visitation formed part of the school’s ambitious Master Plan, creating a modern and functional environment for students. The project added new classrooms, breakout and quiet spaces, and upgraded amenities designed to foster creativity.

 

Our partners at Energize Integration delivered a zencontrol DALI-2 lighting control system that provides both intelligent operation and long-term flexibility.
