Vision: To reduce materials, emissions, recycle wherever possible and use recycled materials.
During refurbishment:
- A comprehensive waste management plan (WMP) ensured 80% of waste was recycled and/or reused during construction.
- The building itself was recycled, creating embodied energy savings and reducing waste to landfill
- The existing lift was upgraded instead of being replaced
The New Interior fitout:
- Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) fitout.
- Recyclable nylon carpet with extremely low VOC emissions
- Synthetic rubber flooring is used in kitchenette areas instead of vinyl
- Natural stone tiling was used in public areas
- Reconstituted timber veneers were specified as finishes for all doors and cupboards forming entries to the service and amenities cores of each office level and in the reception.
- Pressed wood pulp panels used as feature walling in the office and reception areas.
- Polyester privacy and graphics film (instead of vinyl) was used to provide a screening on glass panels in areas of the fit-out.
- Office areas are fitted out with >90% post-industrial recycled aluminium ceiling tiles.
- All face joinery and wall-panelling utilise e-zero (low emission) MDF (medium density fibre-board), the carcasses of all the joinery utilise e-zero (low emission) particle-board.
- Phenolic resin desk-tops
- Handle pulls have been designed into units to minimise pull hardware.
- Non-chromium treated leather upholstery.
- Meeting room tables utilise recycled stringy-bark timber.
