In the March 2019 edition of AIRAH Ecolibrium magazine, Sean McGowan takes an in-depth look into the 151 Clarence Street, Barrack Place development,and how it achieved its WELL Core & Shell pre-certification along 6 star Green Star Design ratings from the Green Building Council of Australia for both the base building and Arup office fitout.
As the specialist mechanical services contractor, A.G. Coombs played an important role in the building achieving its WELL certification and in the successful project delivery.
