Allied Project's role
The Kensington PCYC building was constructed in 1972 and contained extensive asbestos in the building roof and eaves. The Town of Victoria contributed funds toward removal of all asbestos from the building including the main roof to the indoor basketball court, which required structural modifications to the steel truss roof.
A compliant disabled toilet was constructed from space utilized from an existing change room and the existing male and female toilets were completely refurbished with new sanitary fixtures, fittings, tiling and compact laminate partitioning.
The external areas were made good with remediated paving to multiple areas along with landscaping, remediation of an existing storage shed and extension of an existing workshop.
A new compliant electrical distribution board was designed and installed along with a replacement of all light fittings with LED type lights.
Treat and paint of the entire building was completed along with new floor coverings throughout. Existing had wood flooring was sanded and varnished to the entrance, hallway and classrooms.
The rear childcare building required new external hard stand, patio, land scaping and repairs to internal plaster board walls.
The total cost of the refurbishment work was completed for just over $1m. The construction commenced in May 2016 and the opening ceremony was undertaken February 2017.
