The University of Newcastle – Ourimbah IRC Refurbishment Stage 1 & 2

Collaborative delivered the Ourimbah IRC Refurbishment project, encompassing a refurbishment of the existing Information Resource Centre (IRC), which serves as the university’s library and a central hub for student learning. A key component of the renovation was the creation of a new, welcoming main entry, designed to improve access and enhance the building’s aesthetic appeal.

The construction of new plant rooms was also undertaken, housing critical infrastructure to support the building’s operations. A significant upgrade to the building’s control systems was achieved through the installation of a new HVAC system.

To complement the more substantial structural changes, the project also included a series of cosmetic upgrades. These enhancements included recarpeting and repainting throughout the facility, which revitalised the space with a fresh, modern look.
