WT provided full quantity surveying services for SA Police’s new headquarters in Adelaide’s Argus Street, the biggest police-building project in South Australia’s history to date.

The new building provides 18,000 m² of efficient, modern Green 5-star office accommodation for more than 1,000 staff over nine floors incorporating meeting spaces and a café on the ground floor, and an underground car park.

SAPOL sections based at the new hub include the Executive, Firearms, Records, police prosecutors, Anti Corruption and Sex Crimes Investigation Branch.

The building is a semi-post disaster facility and must be able to withstand terrorist attacks also. The building includes a double glazed performance façade, sun shading, a floating façade to the western elevation, VRV air conditioning system, rainwater harvesting and solar hot water.
