105 Phillip Street is going to be a world-class building with a span of 25,000 square metres. It will be the new home of 1,800 employees from the New South Wales Department of Education starting March 2018 when construction has been completed.
“Parramatta is a significant economic and employment hub and continues to provide the ideal location for government and corporate organisations to locate their employees. A recent report shows that Parramatta will have a total workforce of 186,000 by 2021 with a $30 billion economy. We look forward to welcoming Department of Education staff to Parramatta,” said City of Parramatta Administrator Amanda Chadwick.
The building was designed by Bates Smart and it will provide a ‘vertical village’ workspace – a contemporary, functional, flexible and efficient workspace – for its future tenants. The building will feature an expansive rectangular office floor plates as well as interconnecting stairs which offers the flexibility to cater for multiple communities.
