The SA Government has just unveiled Hassell’s new designs for the Adelaide Festival Centre.

The Hassell scope of works resides within a broader redevelopment of the Adelaide Festival Centre and surrounding areas. Work by others includes a new underground carpark, redevelopment of the plaza, Casino expansion, commercial office tower and retail spaces. The Hassell scope includes initial enabling works to accommodate the adjacent developments, Northern promenade works, entry upgrades, interior upgrades and technical upgrade works

The Adelaide Festival Centre redevelopment aims to reinvigorate the precinct, provide exceptional public spaces, improve amenity and create new opportunities for the Adelaide Festival Centre and maintain its status as Adelaide premiere performing arts venue.

The redevelopment includes upgrades to the Northern Promenade, upgrades to the adjacent riverbank park, external kiosk and function spaces, a reconfiguration of the lobby level entry to the Festival Theatre from King William Street, a renovation of the Festival Theatre lobbies and a technical upgrade to the Festival Theatre.
