Walker is developing the new AUD$280 million Headquarters for the Federal Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) in Canberra. The building houses 40,000sqm NLA of commercial space and is due for completion in 2010.
The design has been registered with the Green Building Council of Australia for Green Star Office Design rating, aiming to achieve a 5 star green star rating and a 5 star ABGR rating. It will also feature premium grade services and 3,600sqm floor plates.
The building was designed by May & Russell Architects of Canberra and the workplace design interiors by Woodhead International. Umow Lai and Associates have specified a bio-filtration wall which is like a “living wall” covered with specially selected plants to act as a natural filter for indoor air, removing airborne contaminants. The aim is to create a highly productive, healthy workplace for the DEEWR team.
