Multiplex to build Channel 9's new North Sydney HQ

<html><body>
Multiplex has been appointed by the Trades Hall &amp; Literary Institute to work on the Trades Hall Living Heritage Project, funded by the State Government of Victoria.
Multiplex will undertake restoration and refurbishment works to the historic three-level Trades Hall building in Victoria Street, Carlton.
Victoria’s Trades Hall is Australia’s oldest and largest trades hall. The prominent Carlton landmark continues to serve as a hub for union organisation
It was constructed in 10 stages, the most significant occurring between 1876 to 1925.
The Trades Hall Living Heritage Project is led by architect and heritage consultant Lovell Chen.
The project focuses on conservation works and refurbishment for the main public spaces in the 3,800 square metre heritage-listed building.
Works include refurbishment to the New Council Chamber and building services upgrades.
A key driver of the project is to open up the historic building and enable public access.
“We are delighted to be appointed to restore Trades Hall and breathe new life into this historic Carlton building,” said Graham Cottam, Regional Managing Director Multiplex Victoria.
This is one of the first major building projects to benefit from the Government’s recently establishedLiving Heritage Grants Program.
The grant funding is enabling the refurbishment project, plus essential conservation and activation works such as roofing works and repairs to the Lygon Street portico.
Detailed conservation works will include the specialist restoration of several of the main interiors, including those in the Old Council Chamber (pictured below), and the New and Old Ballrooms. The Old Council Chamber officially opened in 1884.
The original 1880s decorative scheme, including significant portraits and elaborate wall treatments, is the work of prominent decorators of the period, C.S. Paterson Brothers.

The Trades Hall Living Heritage Project is scheduled for completion in mid-2019.

Premier global construction company, Multiplex, has completed Hengyi’s $350 million high-rise residential development, Swanston Central, delivering a new addition to Melbourne’s inner-city skyline.
Located on the former Carlton United Brewery site at 160 Victoria Street in Carlton, the 71-level Swanston Central was designed by architects Elenberg Fraser. It comprises 1,045 residential apartments, 2,500 square metres of retail space over podium levels and a 345 square metre office space on Level 22.
With its highest point at 257 metres above street level, Swanston Central offers residents panoramic views across Melbourne.
Multiplex Regional Managing Director Graham Cottam said the contractor was delighted to complete the landmark high-rise development for Hengyi.
“With a rich history dating back to the mid-1800s, the delivery of Swanston Central has seen the original Carlton Brewing site reborn into a vibrant vertical village,” said Mr Cottam.
“Supported by our extensive experience in high-rise construction, we’re proud to have delivered Swanston Central on time and to an exceptional standard for residents.”
Work on the Swanston Central project spanned 3.5 years commencing on August 23rd 2016 and according to Multiplex over 1,000 people worked on site throughout construction.
A range of innovative construction techniques have been used by Multiplex including the use of precast formwork to build outriggers on the face of Levels 22, 47 and 48 and the installation of the entire curtain wall behind screens to improve safety. Swivel arm technology was used to install curtain wall glass to free-standing hero columns without the need for tower cranes or mobile cranes.
ESD features include a 50,000 litre rainwater tank for irrigation, pool top-up and filter backwash.
Swanston Central features a landscaped common area plaza providing access from Victoria Street right through to Queensberry Street, with a mixture of retail and shops at Ground and Level 1.
Resident facilities include a lap pool, two spas, sauna, steam room and four cabana areas.

Level 47 features private dining rooms, golf simulators, games rooms, a library and two cinema media rooms. An exclusive sky lounge on Level 69 provides an open plan common area that can be booked for events and parties.
A signature element of Swanston Central’s design is its striking interlocking glass panels that change colour from green to silver and pink. The heritage-listed two-level Carlton United Brewery building at the front of the site has been refurbished and will be leased out to future retail or commercial tenants. It incorporates a refurbished heritage board room from the 1800’s.
The site operated as a brewery for over 100 years from 1864 until 1987 when it was demolished. It was then vacant until Hengyi acquired it in 2016 and commenced construction on Swanston Central.

Designed by architects Fitzpatrick + Partners with interiors by Wood Bagot, the hotel will feature a geometric façade and comprise 182 guest rooms including four generously-sized suites, a three storey high internal garden and courtyard, meeting space, restaurant and bar.
The construction of 65 Sussex Street has seen over 550 people and 85,000 hours worked on-site to date. Almost 3,000 cubic metres of concrete has been used to build the hotel’s structure, while 333 individual panels of glass will be used to form the geometric façade.
“The hotel is an important part of the revitalisation of the surrounding western corridor and is ideally located close to the Barangaroo and King Street Wharf lifestyle precincts,” commented David Ghannoum, regional managing director NSW at Multiplex.
“We are drawing on our expertise in hotel construction and working within the confined and busy CBD environment to deliver this new hotel,” he said.
With the structure complete, Multiplex will now commence the internal fit-out of the guest rooms with completion on track for the end of 2017.
“We are excited to reach this important milestone and look forward to launching our new boutique hotel later in 2017,” added Neil Maxwell, CEO of M&amp;L Hospitality.

The global contractor Multiplex has completed the University of New South Wales’ (UNSW) new $125 million Bioscience Building.
Located at the Kensington campus in Botany Street, Randwick, the project comprises a total of 21,339 square metres.
It includes the new nine level Bioscience Building designed by Woods Bagot.
It represents the third stage of the regeneration and expansion of the Biomedical Precinct at UNSW, addressing the long-term accommodation needs of the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences and the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/06/08/b.jpg" width="700" height="450">
The new Bioscience Building was completed on time and on budget.
David Ghannoum, New South Wales Regional Managing Director at Multiplex said the firm had delivered several new facilities at UNSW in recent years, including the University Terraces student accommodation, the Materials Science and Engineering Building (now known as the Hilmer Building) and the Tyree Energy Technologies Building.
The new Bioscience Building provides students and researchers with a contemporary research and teaching environment including new mixed use wet and dry laboratories.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/06/08/c.jpg" width="700" height="450">
UNSW Faculty of Science research projects set to benefit from the new facility include understanding the origin and evolution of life on Earth; determining the effects of microplastics on the marine environment; tracing past environmental change using limestone deposits in caves and Antarctic ice cores; protecting Australian ecosystems that support our iconic wildlife; examining the evolutionary costs and benefits of sex; discovering the secrets of life at a molecular level; and using molecular biosciences to understand cancer, infectious, metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases.
Teaching areas are provided on the Ground floor and Level 1 of the new building, with rooms fitted with floor-to-ceiling glass windows to enable viewing into labs and ‘Science On Display’ opportunities. Upper floors are dedicated to Generic Open Lab and workplace facilities designed to maximise collaboration between researchers.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/06/08/d.jpg" width="700" height="450">
Challenges faced during construction include the footprint of the building being wedged between three operating buildings, with minimal storage areas and difficult access for deliveries. The team also carried out extensive enabling works including diversion of inground services, construction of a new electrical substation and decommissioning of two substations.
Works commenced in September 2015 and spanned an 18 month period.
Construction saw some 9,350 cubic metres of concrete poured with 120 tonnes of posttensioning used as well as 980 tonnes of reinforcing steel.

New $125 million UNSW building completed

<html><body>
Multiplex has been appointed to deliver the $24 million upgrade of the iconic Roundhouse venue at the University of New South Wales in Sydney.
The Roundhouse is on the lower part of the UNSW Kensington campus, adjacent to Anzac Parade, between High Street and University Mall.
The redevelopment will improve the building’s functionality to create an enhanced social environment.
With several new construction projects occurring across campus including the new $174.4 million Science and Engineering Building, the redevelopment of the 5,217 square metre Roundhouse will ensure the building aligns with the urban design context of the University.
David Ghannoum, New South Wales Regional Managing Director at Multiplex said we are delighted to continue our on-going collaboration with UNSW Sydney and play a vital role in generating flexible and interactive social spaces for students and the public.
“Our previous work with the University has given us the credentials to deliver this highly technical redevelopment in this live campus environment”, he said.
Originally constructed in 1961, the Roundhouse was designed by the Government Architect and Edwards, Madigan, Torzillo, Briggs Architects who later built the National Gallery and High Court in Canberra.
It was considered a cutting-edge architectural statement as Sydney’s first-ever circular building and one of the only buildings solely dedicated to student recreation on a campus in New South Wales.
The Roundhouse is now a key part of daily campus life at UNSW and has hosted a diverse range of events over the last 56 years including wedding receptions, Bacchus Balls, boxing matches, comedy nights, theatre sports, formal dinners, dance parties and even a conga line protest.
A host of concerts have been held at the venue including a range of local and international acts such as Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, Ratcat, Fatboy Slim, Foo Fighters, The Living End and Nick Cave.
In 2015, UNSW Sydney engaged Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects to prepare designs for the redevelopment of the Roundhouse.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/08/09/UNSW%20Round%20House%20Project-v3-20160520.jpg" alt="">
After years of ad-hoc additions, the building is now being readied for the next 50 years, with new engineering services, a low-energy upgrading of its exterior and a refurbishment of its interior that respects the heritage of the building but adds new functionality.
By stripping away the later additions, and building a more efficient and compact service wing, the form of the building will regain its integrity.
Further, landscape improvements including connections to Anzac Parade and the broader campus, and new, vibrant green spaces for students and functions will reinstate the landmark status of the Roundhouse within the lower campus of the University once more.
A key focus of UNSW Sydney’s 2025 Strategy is increasing social engagement in addition to pursuing academic excellence and enhancing global impact.
The University is focused on improving student experience through the development of better facilities, linkages to public transport and improving overall food, beverage and retail offerings on campus.
The Roundhouse will provide a venue for concerts, events, conferences, seminars, box office, merchandise and food services.
In addition, the building will also provide a permanent University bar and beer garden with a secondary bar area.
With a capacity for 2,200 patrons, the Roundhouse remains one of the few venues in Sydney suitable for international live music performances.
The Roundhouse is set for completion in December, 2017. Subsequent remodeling of the public domain around the building will coincide with proposed new pedestrian linkages associated with the new light rail station on Anzac Parade, currently being delivered by Transport for NSW.
Multiplex has completed several new facilities at UNSW in recent years including the University Terraces student accommodation, the Materials Science and Engineering Building no known as the Hilmar Building and the Tyree Energy Technologies Building.
Multiplex also recently completed the new $125 million Biological Sciences Building, with classes commencing in the building in July, 2017 and was recently appointed to construct the new $174.4 million Science and Engineering Building.
