Sommerville House Library

WalkerBai was engaged to provide the fire engineering analysis for the redevelopment and internal fit out of the existing Seymour Library building at the Sommerville House School in South Brisbane. Fire Engineering allowed for a number of performance Solutions to be used to satisfy the BCA’s Performance Requirements as opposed to the prescriptive Deemed-to-Satisfy requirements. Through this approach, the mezzanine, atrium and stairs integral to Thomson Adsett’s modern design of the Library were made achievable, resulting in a successful project for all involved.
