RSP Consulting Engineers was engaged by 1 Oak Constructions to undertake the design and documentation for a new medical centre and office development at 1-3 Cylinders Drive in Torquay. The new building comprises of an open-deck basement car park with capacity for 840 cars; ground floor with GP consultant rooms, specialised medical rooms, reception and waiting area, pharmacy, and Café; first floor with larger specialised medical rooms and general open-plan office space.
RSP Consulting was engaged for the design and documentation of Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic and Fire protection services as well as managing external ESD and Fire Engineering sub-consultants.
The project had previously been architecturally designed for planning purposes and the challenge set was to maintain as much of the original design as possible with the additional inclusion of a large glass skylight atrium at the entry of the building. Maintaining much of the original concept required the project to undergo a JV3 alternative assessment.
