  • Undertaken targeted assessments to evaluate the building’s condition, capacity and compliance with current standards, including:
    • structural assessments
    • various surveys
    • asset reviews
    • technical assessments
    • geotechnical testing
    • service infrastructure reviews (electrical, mechanical etc)
    • cost planning and lease, licencing
    • and library service use analysis.

What's next
