FDC have produced an exciting cultural experience in this six-storey above-ground office building which forms part of the Pyrmont Campus. The works include Event Space Auditorium, Café, Wellness Centre, Cinema, Gymnasium, full commercial kitchen and dining facilities and work areas. The startling result was achieved whilst maintaining existing operational floors 1, 2 and 3. 
Noise was monitored 24 hours a day with monitors at the boundaries of the site, as it was located in a residential zone.
The works were undertaken in seven separate stages being Event Production and Pre-function areas: main fitout works on the ground floor, the entire fitout of level 4 and a dedicated food space on level 5; ground floor foyer and lift lobby works; architectural finishes around level 1 stair void; architectural finishes around lift lobby doors level 1 to 3; removal of existing kitchen and reception and converting these areas to office spaces and a cinema.
There were numerous complex issues needed to be resolved in connecting the existing floors by the impressive stairs. Major planning, services relocation, slab removal and then the installation of the stairs was undertaken within the occupied building levels.
Level 5 cafeteria includes a main commercial kitchen capable of providing 560 staff, three different cuisines for lunch along with a dedicated barista station, juice bar, two novelty food stations, a condiments and dessert bar and collaborations spaces for staff to meet.
A feature among many was the lighting design and the interior design intent. The lighting changes moods for the different areas and required detailed planning and integration by FDC
FDC have achieved a high quality of finishes in a challenging environment of a partially occupied building of existing staff. FDC has achieved the Clients Brief of an exciting, impacting cultural experience.
