The development of the new Wagga Wagga PCYC is now a leading sporting facility available for use by the local community, professional sporting teams, schools, and various regional sporting competitions.
The facility incorporates undercroft off-street parking, lower ground pods containing amenities, storerooms, café, reception and office spaces, a sports hall containing 4 full sized basketball and netball courts with a capability to accommodate various other sports and includes tiered seating and storage rooms and automated equipment etc.
Design refinements were made to increase efficiency of construction and included amendments to post tensioned slab design and fire rating methods to accommodate alternate sequencing to help mitigate delays due to ongoing wet weather.
The sports hall floor had to be constructed to tight tolerances to ensure compliance with Australian Standards. The cladding to the Pods was a product that required onsite fabrication and bending to achieve the curved surfaces that were required to line up around the circumference of the building.
The overall project is a complex building with a large emphasis on natural form finishes which has been well executed and completed to a high standard. Very worthy of this award.
