MBM has worked with ARU and UTS since concept stage managing and providing advice during design stages, main contract stages, including value management processes ensuring value for money within the budget parameters. The project is based on a fixed lump sum for the base building but construction management procurement methods for the fitout portions and reduced both the base building and full fit-out for all parties.

Project Background and Scope

The Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust (SCGT), Australian Rugby Union (ARU) and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), in partnership with the Australian Government and NSW State Government, are delivering the Australian Rugby Development Centre (ARDC), a world-class sporting, education and community hub at Moore Park. In an Australian first the ARDC will bring together elite athletes, a high-performance training facility, sector-leading sports scientists, UTS students and the community within Australia’s leading sports and entertainment precinct.
The facade glazing system is complemented with a bronze aluminium sun shading screen and the low e-glazing will receive a ceramic frit pattern to upper levels for aesthetic purposes. The sports areas received full height impact glazing to the courts.
