Enterprise Hub, 9 Light Square

/ Adelaide, SA

Enterprise Hub, 9 Light Square

In 2020, Swanbury Penglase was engaged by UniSA to completely reinvent 9 Light Square, Adelaide as a workplace hub.

With a rich history in the west end of the city, 9 Light Square had many previous lives including a skins and hides warehouse, the ‘Dutch Club’, Le Rox Nightclub and the Night Train Theatre Restaurant.

Our disciplines of Architecture, Interior Architecture and Heritage worked in strong collaboration on this adaptive reuse project, finding the balance between discovering and celebrating the building’s unique history and modernising it to become a place of enterprise and innovation.

Across two levels, the Enterprise Hub accommodates over 100 people in a variety of dynamic working settings to support the cross-pollination of business groups and ideas, to foster connections and partnerships that may not have been obvious. Spaces are flexible and adaptable to support the changing needs of the users and include incubation suites, agile co-working hubs, workshops and open plan work areas.

The project also included a complete building analysis and services and safety upgrade to create a habitable place ready for occupation and maintain this important and historic site into the future.

Norwood International High School

/ Norwood, SA

Norwood International High School

Swanbury Penglase was engaged by DIT in late 2019 to realise the redevelopment of the Norwood Morialta Magill Senior Campus and its collocation with the Morialta Middle School Campus, bringing the site student population from 850 to over 1700.

The project involves the substantial redevelopment of almost all buildings and the provision of two new buildings – a three storey Middle School facility and a two storey Innovation Hub (home economics and art), connected closely to an existing building offering music and technical studies.

The project also involves the repurposing of an under-utilised cafeteria space to provide a dynamic new “Learning Hub”, locating centrally within the School, bringing together learning support, library services, international studies and IT. Collaborative and flexible spaces for learning and working are included within this area, drawing direct inspiration from tertiary design.

Other areas of the redevelopment include new workspaces, break out areas and flexible work opportunities where students and staff can work side-by-side.

The project also includes a new roof top deck playspace aimed at incoming Year 7 students as well as extensive landscape and site redevelopment to provide vibrant and dynamic play and social spaces and dramatically improve accessibility across what was previously a sloping site, consistent with the School’s foothills location.

Nexus Repatriation Medical Centre

/ Daw Park, SA

Nexus Repatriation Medical Centre

In 2021, following a comprehensive registration of interest and tender process, SA Health signed an agreement with Nexus Hospitals to develop a new Medical Centre on the Repatriation Hospital site at Daw Park.

The project will enable the delivery of both public and private surgical capacity, with the public surgery increasing capacity across the public health network.

The Surgery will include:
> Ophthalmology
> Orthopaedic
> Plastics & reconstructive
> Ear Nose and Throat
> Endoscopy
> General surgery

The facility will include:
> 8 theatres
> 30-bed overnight capacity
> 20-chair renal dialysis unit
> GP clinic
> Radiology
> Pathology
> Pharmacy
> Cafe
> areas for specialist medical and other allied health services
> Integrated 350 car multi-deck carpark

Work has involved a substantial collaborative design process with Nexus and SA Health to enable an appropriate integration into the existing Repatriation Health Precinct and the improvement of vehicular and pedestrian access across the site including substantial additional carparking.

The project involves extensive consultation with medical specialists, other building occupants and broader community stakeholders; a well managed process that enables a collaborative ‘buy-in’, across the board.

Demolition works have recently commenced to make way for the new facility.

Construction is expected to start in early 2023 and be completed by end of 2024.
