About

Principal contractor needed to adapt an existing gallery into the Ocean Lab, creating a new flexible exhibition and learning environment. The works include construction of new walls and exhibition structures, formation of additional storage areas, installation of an AV control booth, and creation of new display and interpretation spaces, together with associated flooring, finishes, services integration and exhibition-quality wall surfaces. The design is inspired by a contemporary science-lab aesthetic and specifies a flexible, sustainable material palette selected to enable reuse, adaptation and reconfiguration over the life of the gallery.
