ESC Engineering provided the full suite of electrical engineering services including, power distribution, lighting design, fire and EWIS, security, communications and audio visual to this well-known building at 80 Stirling Street. The old Telstra head office is being converted to a student accommodation building with a capacity for over 1,000 students. The project will see the existing 7 storey-building extended to 11 storeys with bars, gyms, retail units and a hostel incorporated.
The complex nature of this $60M refurbishment required a very close working relationship with Architects Woods Bagot and the Developer DevWest to ensure the services component of the project not only delivered the design brief but also fell within a tight financial budget.
