Project Description

This project consisted of the demolition of a fire damaged building and reconstruction of The Graduate Pub. The reconstructed premises provides 1540m2 of bar, lounge and restaurant space along with ancillary kitchen facilities, staff facilities, offices and storage within 3 floors, over an existing basement which was retained. The premises are constructed with a structural steel frame, precast concrete floors, stairs and masonry envelop. The building is provided with solar panels on the roof and rainwater is collected for reuse due to the installation of a rainwater harvesting system.
