Logan, Utah
Spectrum Engineers designed the award-winning lighting systems, provided electrical and acoustical engineering and designed sound systems for this 17,000 sq. ft. addition and renovation of the existing, St. John's Episcopal Church. The original church building was completed in 1909 and is on Utah's register of historic spaces. The 2004 historically sensitive addition/renovation project also included the relocation of the existing 3500 sq. ft. Champ House-a neighboring property purchased by the Parish in 1997 that is used for support functions. Lighting is particularly sensitive to the historic nature of the building and to liturgical functions. Old lanterns were retrofitted to use energy-efficient compact fluorescent lamps on dimmers. The addition features reproductions of the historic lanterns. New altar lighting supports services, remains out of view of windows and lanterns and maintains consistent illumination on the altar despite daylight.
