PICAC – Narre Warren
The Plumbing Industry Climate Action Centre (PICAC) in Narre Warren, Victoria is an education and research facility designed specifically for the plumbing . Recognised for its ground-breaking design, PICAC Narre Warren received a commendation in the AIA 2021 Victorian Chapter Awards, a High Commendation in the 2020 Sustainability Awards.
The campus is recognised as Victoria’s first net zero research facility, completely powered from on-site renewable energy. The 5-Star Green Star rated building includes a 100-seat auditorium, training rooms, confined spaces and roof access training areas, welding and gas fitting facilities, and administration offices.
PICAC not only deploys sustainable building systems operationally but reveals them throughout the building, benefiting learners and showcasing them to industry, accelerating the adoption of these systems.
Miglic MacLeod’s deep engagement and responsiveness, combined with our civil and structural expertise, ensured PICAC achieved their environmental aims reliably and efficiently.
Our structural and civil engineers also included solutions for:
- Screw pile foundations
- Water sensitive urban design
- Sustainability design
- Optimised orientation and exposure
- Training spaces design
Environmentally friendly and energy efficient design and materials were implemented. Solar access was optimised through targeted exposure, deep overhangs and vertical shaded glazing, and stormwater run off was managed.
