At a cost of $1.2 million, the 2800m2 site provides multi-use sports courts, spectator seating, table tennis, BBQ facilities, bike parking, event space, landscaping, timber deck and sun shading for students and staff attending the university as well as people from the wider community.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vcex_heading text=”Project Design Brief” tag=”h2″ font_weight=”semibold” font_size=”1.154em” css=”.vc_custom_1534997838718{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1582267920153{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”]Due to the high volume of pedestrians utilising the site for social and recreational activities, designers needed to ensure the asphalt playing surfaces and surrounding pavements were as flat as possible for player and spectator safety. Flat pavements create a challenge to collect all surface water. A slight gradient on the pavement sloping away from the playing surface was created. The drainage system needed to ensure no water would encroach on to the adjoining footpaths. Grates were required to be heel friendly and slip resistant.[/vc_column_text][vcex_heading text=”ACO’s Solution” tag=”h2″ font_weight=”semibold” font_size=”1.154em” css=”.vc_custom_1534997885619{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
