Abstract
The project comprises the construction of a new Technology Hub, attached to the rear of the existing 3-storey
Levens Building. The Technology Hub will comprise a 3 storey new build building of circa 2 850 m2, comprising
circa 20 classrooms, a lecture theatre, offices and associated ancillary facilities.
The contractor for the Works will undertake the demolition of the existing single storey building to the rear of
the existing Levens Building (the 3 storey Levens building to be retained), services diversions / terminations
as required, reduced level dig and construction of substructure / foundation / slab works and the construction
of the shell and fit out elements of the building. These packages will include external walls, masonry, structural
frame, wall systems and contractor designed cladding systems, contractor designed window and curtain walling
systems, contractor designed roof systems, upper floors and stairs construction, screeds, internal fit-out of the
building, construction of internal partitioning and screens, floor, wall and ceiling finishes and decorations, joinery,
