Capital Works Improvements 2018

Lecture theatre refurbishment, building 1292 in Bathurst.

Welcome to the summary of the Capital Works delivered by the Division of Facilities Management during 2018 across Charles Sturt University Campuses. This year the summary continues to report on the trend established in 2017 where we saw an increased number of smaller projects.

Whilst smaller in terms of financial expenditure, the complexity of these jobs is often higher and as a result our staff, consultants and builders have been continually challenged. Overall we completed in excess of 100 jobs for a total Capital expenditure of approximately $50 million for the year which was less than initially planned.

The current Capital Program involves an extensive number of refurbishments of existing buildings. With the average age of the majority of CSU buildings now pushing towards the third quarter of their useful lives, issues on compliance and functionality come to the fore. One of our major projects; The CSU Riverina Playhouse - was a particularly complex and challenging task. Built in the 1980’s on a shoestring budget, it had a range of compliance and functional issues that were not truly understood until the works had commenced. Design standards have changed significantly in recent years and extensive refurbishments trigger many complex issues. The end product is exceptional and has transformed the facility into a modern theatre, which now has resumed its role as a key teaching facility and important part of the City of Wagga Wagga’s cultural assets.

As we push to improve our space efficiency and operating costs, it is encouraging that we have been able to demolish some residential buildings, with more planned for early 2019. The significant Doman building has been demolished and the site repatriated.

Part of this process not only involved removal of hazardous materials, large excavators dust and noise, but preserve the history of the building prior to demolition works commencing.

Stephen Butt Executive Director, Division of Facilities Management

Overview Stephen Butt

We engaged with a historian to record the construction and history of the building and its role in CSU’s history together with the impact Bernard (Dick) Doman had on the institution. Daughter of Bernard Doman (whom the building was named after) attended a presentation prior to the buildings demolition.

Our push to improve our overall energy efficiency and use of Clean Energy continues with the commencement of stage 2 photovoltaic roll out. Dubbo’s roofs have been populated with solar panels and this will continue across all major campuses throughout 2019 as part of one of the largest single entity rooftop solar installations in the country.

Student spaces are steadily improving including installing a new lift in Albury-Wodonga and upgrading walkways and pathways. Several office areas have undergone major makeovers which has not only improved the outlook for staff, but has increased building capacity as we transition towards a more hybrid activity based workspace model.

Research has benefitted from a state of the art glasshouse and controlled environment equipment. This will allow increased research opportunities for our staff and partners into the future.

A special thanks to all Facilities Management staff for the continued high quality work throughout 2018 and to our extensive group of partner consultants and builders who make these achievements possible. We trust you will enjoy the publication and more detailed information for each project is available on request.
