The Chapel of Christ The King is at the heart of St. Paul's Collegiate School in Hamilton City, New Zealand. During 2001 a major project to extend and upgrade the original chapel, built 34 years ago, created a superb new 800 seat auditorium. The new chapel is designed to be used not only for worship but also for assemblies, music and performances. High quality technical facilities for sound, video and lighting were designed into the project. Adena provided theatre consultancy services and supplied stage lighting spot bars customised to meet the specific requirements of this installation.

When the stage is not being used for performances the general stage lighting is provided by architectural luminaires, mounted on the ends of the spot bars, and controlled by the auditorium lighting system. These luminaires can be derigged when theatrical luminaires are rigged for lighting performances and the dimmer circuits switched over from the auditorium system to the stage lighting dimmers. The auditorium lighting can be controlled from various points in the building and from the lectern on the stage. A conventional stage lighting desk is used next to the sound desk in the auditorium to control the lighting for performances. This provides a high level of flexibility to accommodate the various uses intended for the stage.
