New commercial office fit-out for the Head Office of RSL LifeCare, at Coca-Cola Place on Mount Street, in North Sydney. The 1,979sqm floor was offered as a cold shell, resulting in the integration of modified base building elements to suit the bespoke office design, as well as reductions in cost to the Landlord and RSLLC.
The fit-out involves 29 enclosed meeting, training and quiet rooms, open plan workspace and collaboration zones, a welcoming reception and generous café/breakout, with AV/VC functionality throughout. The design has also accommodated a prayer room and wellness room, plus storerooms, comms room and IT build room.
A significant element of the project was the co-ordination and support of an intensive Stakeholder Management program, involving RSL LifeCare leadership and staff representatives, in establishing the brief, guiding design development, project and move planning, Change Management and comprehensive communications through the project.
A heavy emphasis was placed on functionality, staff interaction and sustainability. These priorities had impact right through the elements of the project — from design, IT/AV & security specification, the mechanical solution, to preparations for Day 1 operations and more.
SPM was also engaged to manage the make good of the office space RSL LifeCare vacated, including a tender process. A separate case study will become available for this project.
