This project involved the partial demolition of an existing section of the building whilst retaining the original Haberfield School of Arts heritage section of the building.
The alterations included the ground and first floor library and Community Centre including meeting rooms, bathrooms, kitchen and remedial works including:
•    Replacement of the Level 01 roof
•    Rectification works to existing timber windows
•    Increased structural support to rear gable wall, subfloor and ceiling
•    Retention of existing Library timber flooring requiring specialist treatment
Internal finishes were diverse and, in many cases, had to be incorporated to match existing works.
The works on the northern boundary were on the adjacent school boundary requiring careful management of these works together with appropriate protection of the school and some out of hours works.
Externally, the original heritage facade was remediated through the application of mineral silicate paint whilst the original School of Arts balcony awning was reinstated by replication the original design including copper gutters and downpipes, lead flashing and cedar shingles.
The works were carried out to a particularly high standard and definitely worthy of this award.
