Construction is already underway behind the cafe inside News Corp’s Australian headquarters as part of a multi-level renovation set to run through this year.
, after the company kicked off construction on a multi-floor renovation of its Holt Street headquarters. Word from our colleagues on the other side of Sydney Harbour is that News Corp Australia has officially started the “next phase of work” on its Surry Hills offices, which the company’s employees have privately acknowledged were long overdue for some TLC.
, told staff to expect some construction noise, temporary desk moves and disruption to facilities and meeting rooms as work gets underway on the Holt Street makeover.
“While further developments are planned for the future, the next phase of work includes new production studios . Construction has begun behind the cafe to create three new photography studios, including two kitchen studios and one dedicated product studio,” Lehmann wrote in the missive.
“Canteen area : A new seating area will open in July – perfect to connect with colleagues over coffee or lunch, or to hold informal catch-ups. ” Lehmann went on to alert colleagues to the opening of the company’s “Future Media Lab” from May 1, and some new “private booths”, along with a new “multi-use event space” on level one, fitted out with a “state-of-the-art” audiovisual setup. Much needed facilities, no doubt.
But perhaps not as much as the company’s need for some new loos, which Lehmann noted would be renovated “floor-by-floor” throughout the year. The new loos, as CBD reported at the time, were estimated to cost about $281,000. A second development application, meanwhile, was lodged in relation to a proposal for “minor alterations and additions” to the building, at a cost of $704,655.
According to the site plans filed with the council, it looks like the men’s and women’s bathrooms on levels one through five, where the company’s executives sit, are set for a revamp. We hear they’ve long been due for a refresh. Better late than never, we suppose. But even then, it’s not like the state of the citadel has deterred News Corp executives from playing host.
