Off-site manufacturing, on-site solutions: honouring heritage while meeting modern needs

Adelaide is home to many of Australia’s most beautiful heritage buildings, and as constructors working in and around these iconic structures, we have a responsibility to respect and maintain their history.

One of the most interesting and rewarding aspects of heritage work is the integration of new facilities into existing buildings, thoughtfully designed to meet the requirements of statutory authorities and the expectations of our clients.

Sarah has a long-standing relationship with the University of Adelaide, and recently we were engaged to design and construct a disability-compliant amenities block adjacent to its most iconic building – the beautifully imposing Bonython Hall facing North Terrace. Completed in 1936, Bonython Hall is the University’s main ceremonial building and provides a grand venue for public events.

While Sarah’s experience working in and around heritage buildings includes redevelopments at St Peter’s College, Wilderness School and the University of Adelaide, this project presented a unique set of technical, safety and logistical challenges.
