Portarlington Library
Refurbishment of existing library building and incorporation of adjacent court house as an extension. Works comprised the refurbishment of the existing Portarlington Public Library and the integration of the existing courthouse by means of an extension to provide a completely refreshed facility.
Works included the demolition of internal partition walls between the existing library and courthouse; a new canopy entrance to the front façade; new windows to the front, rear and side facades including remodelling of existing openings; external insulation to be applied to all facades; removal and re-paving of existing car parking spaces to the front of the building and all associated site works.
The project was a finalist in the LAMA Awards in 2016 in the ‘Best Public Building’ category.
