Woolacotts, a professional engineering division of Daly International, has completed first stage civil, structural and hydraulic design and documentation for a complex Human Hearing Research Centre within Sydney's Macquarie University.
The Hearing Hub is a six story building with two additional levels of basement car parking. The building provides approximately 22,000 sqaure metres of research, laboratory and office area and 10,000 square metres of a car parking. Within this there is a two storey anechoic chamber constructed from reinforced concrete on special isolation bearings.
Stephen Branch, Woolacotts Operations Director commented on the Hearing Hub project:
"This is a very complex design solution. The building includes architectual precast blade walls that extend 5 metres beyond the ends of the building and 4 metres above roof level. It also features post tensioned floor plates which are divided into 3 separate pours. These are locked together after stressing using routed dowels to maintain floor diaphragm and minimise the number of lateral load resisting members."
