CHIPPENDALE CHILD CARE CENTRE

Rotric Constructions was engaged by the City of Sydney to meet the increasing need for state of the art childcare centres in the city. We aligned with the Client in their commitment to improved environmental sustainability, placing a focus on delivering ‘green design’ elements in our build. This included sustainability improvements such as improvement of airflow and temperature control, environmentally friendly building materials and energy efficient fittings.

The Project involved the refurbishment and fitout of the existing premises, involving the internal space and outdoor area. The outdoor area included a playground, the installation of a shade structure, sandpits, garden planters, landscaping and fencing.

Internally we created offices for staff, a communal learning area separated off from the children’s sleeping arrangement space via sliding doors and amenities. Toilets were set particularly low to accommodate toddlers, and the facilities provided were child friendly with heightened security during the works.

Rotric Constructions rose to the challenge of delivering a high quality project while working with children on site. Compliance issues were met. Stringent methodologies and care was placed around the health, safety and wellbeing of children, as well as keeping the operation ongoing during works. Noise was kept to a minimal due to environmental sensitivities including the location of the premises being adjacent the Pine St Creative Arts Centre and situated in a quiet residential area.
