Commercial Fitout Case Study PCYC Midland
PCYC Midland has been given a new lease of life with it's recently completed commercial fitout. The aim of which was to provide a strong community focused centre. The Federation of Western Australian Police and Community Youth Centres (WA PCYC) is a not-for-profit organisation. It creates opportunities for young people through the delivery of two broad youth services. Namely, development (intervention) programmes and recreational activities.
The existing Midland site was in structural disrepair with some areas deemed unsafe. Extensive structural works such as replacing the main sport court and a complete kitchen refit were required. Inevitably, these necessary commercial fitout works highlighted a need to redesign the building floor plan.
Interior Design Inspiration
The main inspiration for this commercial building transformation was to provide a valuable community facility. Ultimately, a centre that focused on and catered for youth in need. And a ‘patch of peace’ for those who work within its interior.
Secure work spaces were created to support entrance facilities. These areas provide valuable resources to the many people who use the centre. Kitchen and bathroom facilities were beyond help. They required new efficient and practical services, plus fixtures that everyone could share.
The focal point of the centre is the sport court used for basketball, badminton and soccer. This required the complete replacement of the jarrah floor in order to provide a safe base for various activities. A gymnasium on the upper floor was also restored to its former glory.
Electrical and fire services in the building were replaced to meet current Australian Standards and Building Regulations.
