State Library NSW

The proposed library redevelopment includes a series of new gallery spaces within the heritage listed building and will re-purpose areas that were previously used for storage, offices and temporary displays. The redevelopment also included a new children’s learning centre on the ground floor of the Mitchell building, which will include informal family spaces.

Group DLA were engaged to provide Building Code of Australia (BCA) consultancy throughout the design development phases of the project, including the provision of certification on behalf of the Crown. Our involvement also extends to the assessment of extensive Fire Engineering, Ergonomics and DDA Accessibility Performance Solutions, including liaison with Fire Rescue NSW (FRNSW) & Local Authorities due to resulting Fire Safety Order.
