Longwood University

Longwood University, a historic institution in Farmville, Virginia, sought to create a premier arena with the Joan Perry Brock Center. Designed as a multipurpose facility for basketball games, concerts, and events, this state-of-the-art venue required a highly adaptable lighting system to meet the rigorous demands of Division 1 sports and versatile event programming.

University leaders envisioned a grand arena with optimal lighting for players, spectators, and multipurpose events. They needed a solution that delivered high performance, reliability, and programmability. After exploring various systems, DMX control emerged as the ideal choice for seamless adaptability and precision lighting.

TGS Sports delivered 44 Nova™ G2 400W stadium lights featuring adaptable DMX power supplies. Each fixture produced over 54,000 lumens with superior CRI, ensuring exceptional visibility and control. With a ten-year warranty and over 100,000 service hours, the Nova™ G2 provided unmatched performance and reliability.

The Joan Perry Brock Center is now a premier mid-major arena in the mid-Atlantic, offering world-class lighting that enhances gameplay, events, and fan experiences. The high-efficiency solution significantly reduced energy and maintenance costs, solidifying the arena as a cornerstone for Longwood University’s community and tradition.
