EXCELLENCE IN CONSTRUCTION OF COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS UNDER $3M COLBRICO T/A SEARLE BROS BUILDING CONTRACTORS

Project: Central Goldfields Art Gallery, Maryborough

Designer: Nevergna Reed Architecture

Photographer: Gollings Photography Pty Ltd — John Gollings

The task was to transform the very tired Maryborough Art Gallery (formally the original town fire station) into a contemporary and friendly space. The additions, alterations and state-of-the-art mechanical and electrical upgrades allow the gallery to exhibit many more collections now that the building will be certified and can be adjusted to suit individual collections. The project included redeveloping the entrance to the building, restoring existing infrastructure and redesigning internal space to create an open, contemporary reception and retail area, and removal of the false ceiling to reveal the original 19th century beams, as well as improving accessibility.
