CONSTRUCTION UPDATE The Construction Team has recommenced works following the recent ACT lockdown and has shown substantial progress, having poured three additional slabs since returning to work. The main structure is progressing well and quickly emerging out from the excavation. Structural trades are ongoing, with service trades commencing installations in the lower levels of the building. The main entrance area to the Auditorium will include the building’s amenities for students and auditorium guests. The construction team have completed the slab-on-ground for the classroom level. This area will house the four music classrooms, as well as the 17 instrumental practice rooms. Fifty-three of the total 62 Auditorium precast concrete panels have been installed. These panels form the perimeter walls of the Auditorium and have been acoustically designed to reverberate sound around the Auditorium space. The eastern Quad Level slab will be the structure on which the building’s green roof will be located and will consist of a range of Australian native shrubs and grasses. – Jacob Angelatos, Site Engineer (Construction Control), Alumni – CGS 2014
