It will work closely with the project architect Bates Smart to provide an integrated engineering solution including structural, civil and fire engineering, building services, acoustics, ESD, fire protection and hydraulics. Arup will use 4D modelling to provide a virtual construction ‘dress rehearsal’ - enabling the smooth integration with architectural documentation, and minimising disruption to day-to-day operations during its construction.
“We are excited to be working with the Victoria Racing Club and Bates Smart on this significant new building which will take pride of place within Melbourne’s sporting landscape,” said Joseph Correnza, project director and southern region buildings leader for Arup in Australasia. “It will provide both members and staff with a new state of the art facility and will be setting an international benchmark – an icon for all of Melbourne and Australia.”
