Adaptive reuse of a purpose-built childcare facility
Gateshead Childcare Facility
The $3.5–4 million Gateshead Childcare Facility involved the adaptive reuse of an existing office building attached to an industrial warehouse, transforming the space into a purpose-built 98-place childcare centre.
Avid Project Management oversaw the delivery for SIBA Property, a Life Property Group company, working alongside architect SDA (Space Design Architecture) and contractor Collaborative Construction Solutions.
Transforming an existing commercial space
The existing office building was converted to provide four individual indoor playrooms and extensive natural outdoor play areas, including an elevated Level 1 play space overlooking the ground floor.
The design also carefully considered the future subdivision of the adjoining warehouse, with provisions for electricity, water, communications and sewer infrastructure incorporated into the works.
