Project Profile: Midtown Centre - Rio Tinto Fitout

A new 20,000swm workplace for Rio Tinto, as anchor tenant in the new Midtown Centre in Brisbane. Taking Levels 20 to 26 the fitout by COX Architecture, includes a central atrium with floating stairs, outdoor terraces, exceptional end of trip facilities, wellness centre, boardrooms, meeting rooms, offices, workstations, collaboration spaces and amenities.

BSE’s team delivered electrical, communications, mechanical and lighting, for all stages of this scope, including concept and detailed designs, support through tender and construction stages, commissioning, and defects period.

Working with COX Architecture’s vision for a central atrium and floating staircase, our team delivered designs fit for purpose with lighting and conditioned air systems. To meet BCA requirements, a creative smoke exhaust design was identified and documented for the atrium/ stairwell feature to meet building code requirements while maintaining the integrity of the architectural impact.
