In order to meet increasing demand for office space in the Hobart CBD and address The Department’s workforce surge due to COVID-19, Blue Tier was engaged to provide an efficient, effective work environment for staff across six floors within the inner city building.

Requirements of the project:

• flexible, relocatable floor plans to provide equity across all working groups and gain operational efficiency to meet changing demand

• a healthy, comfortable environment for staff that maximised natural light, delivered effective air/temperature control and lighting, and provided contemporary ergonomics in the choice of office setting and furniture

• compliance with mandated Guidelines and all appropriate legislation and WHS regulations.

The scope of works varied across all levels and included internal refit-out, desk replacements and services upgraded accordingly, removal of existing internal walls, repainting, relocation of storage space to basement, remove of additional kitchens and carpet replacement.
