Bonython Hall amenities and accessibility
The addition of modern amenities and accessibility improvements to one of the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog’s grandest buildings makes it easier to welcome the whole community to this Adelaide landmark.
The Bonython Hall amenities project required substantial planning, scheduling and construction due to the number of high-profile events in the Hall (including graduations) and the low load-bearing capacity of the adjacent plaza. To ensure that the structural integrity of Bonython Hall could be maintained, and damage prevented to the heritage façade, a prefabricated module was built off-site and crane-lifted over the building where it was fixed into place on the eastern side.Â
