Turner and Townsend has been awarded the project and cost management commission for new building for Sheffield Hallam University.
The Melbourne project is divided into two distinct projects, the first of which is primarily demolition, applying infill slabs, structural steel and new facades and port cochere, whilst the second project will deliver the high level of finish expected by the Hyatt hotel chain.
In order to maintain a tight schedule, reduce client risk and ensure the highest standards, two separate contractors have been selected.
Turner and Townsend's involvement stems from previous work with the Grand Hyatt Group.
In Melbourne the international construction and management consultancy will administer a complex project whilst managing the continual running of the Hyatt Hotel and its plethora of functions and conferences.
Scheduled works include the forming of new voids, the infilling of existing voids, new lifts, stairs, bridges, facade treatment, retail shop fronts, and porte cochere.
The project will also deliver feature fireplaces, new BOH kitchen, front of house kitchen, bars, restaurants, and wine rooms.
