The Core Centre Torquay is an office and retail space that also contains car parking space. It is made up of two suspended concrete floors.
Precast hollow core concrete was used to allow for complexities in design including:
- Cantilevered beams and floor to accommodate large glass panels.
- Irregular floor-to-floor heights.
- Ramps.
- Central stair void.
Hollow core concrete allowed for the required 16 metre spans which gave the site flexibility and also saved costs.
