Pathway & English Language Centre

'The Pathway and English Language Centre' was already a key facility at Otago University.

Strawberry delivered a system that could integrate into the broader campus network and support future growth.

This project took out GOLD at the Dynalite Partner Awards, credited for its great use of the Dynalite System's automation logic.

The building required a flexible lighting control solution to accommodate an expansive and evolving campus.
The system needed to integrate seamlessly with the wider university network while also supporting future growth.

Sustainability was a key driver.

The solution needed to reduce unnecessary power consumption and help the university meet its environmental goals. 

•  Light-level sensors were installed to enable daylight harvesting, optimising energy use by reducing reliance on artificial lighting.
•  Automated scheduling and occupancy sensors ensure lighting is only used when needed.

And because the Pathway and English Language Centre is now fully integrated into the broader campus network, facility management can monitor and adjust lighting levels across the university — all from a single interface.

With a modular smart lighting system designed to integrate with third-party platforms, we’re using this technology to its full potential.
