Project Profile Library at the Dock

The Library at the Dock community centre is three stories high and 55.3 metres long by 18.1 metres wide with waterfront views. Library at the Dock has just been awarded Australia’s first 6 star green star rating for a public building. This amazing addition is a centre point for the Docklands neighbourhood, providing a place for culture, community interaction and learning. The Studco external steel stud wall system and the Studco top hat system was used extensively on this project to offer an engineered solution to support the unique recycled timber facade. Studco strives to align with likeminded companies and projects, so to be a part of a development that is setting new environmental benchmarks is a great success. n

Each year the Australian Institute of Architects celebrates the innovative Library at the Dock work of our Victorian architects. This year Studco are thrilled to acknowledge our involvement in two of the award winning projects for 2015. The Library at the Dock is the centrepiece of Victoria Harbour’s new civic heart serving the broader Docklands’ community. The structure went up in just 60 days and has been awarded Australia’s first 6 Star Green Star rating for a public building. Taking out the Allan and Beth Coldicutt Award for Sustainable Architecture, the project also received a Commendation for Public Architecture (New).

The Margaret Court Arena, one of Studco’s most Margaret Courrt Arena challenging projects received the Architecture Award for the Public Architecture Alterations & Additions category. The redevelopment works include a major upgrade and the installation of a new façade, a retractable roof, and fully enclosed foyer and concourse area. This project utilised Studco’s Real time 3D CAD modelling and computer based acoustic simulations along with custom rolled steel studs and the Resilmount M24R chase wall resilient brackets. Studco continuously thrives to be at the forefront of innovation in building systems.

Q. What is the strongest, most reliable way to frame up for internal doorways?

A. The good news is that there is a better structure at the top, even where the rest way than the commonly used options: of the wall is connected to the ceiling, and boxed studs or timber inside steel studs. jamb studs must be screw-fixed to the top The timber/steel stud combination is (and bottom) track to ensure maximum cumbersome, is rarely installed correctly ridigity.

Besides screws on either side of the track. For being slower, the boxed studs option is installations requiring accommodation for not an ideal fit at the track connection. deflection, use either Studco’s popular 0.75 gauge slotted deflection track, which The strongest and most reliable method is specifically engineered for maximum is to use Studco’s HEDAjamb steel studs. performance of internal walls in concrete- It’s super strong, it’s quick and it’s easier to-concrete structures, or for maximum all round.

In the case of a door being slammed shut, the track fixing becomes extremely important in maintaining the integrity of the plaster finish. In high traffic applications – hospitals, sports stadiums and public venues – another Studco M104 HEDA connector bracket should be used at the base connection of the HEDAjamb stud. For a strong head connection, fix a short piece of HEDAjamb stud between the two jamb studs using brackets or short track sections. Where deflection is not required, a Studco 1.15mm deflection track is a suitable alternative Think about the strongest and most cost effective for the doorway header. n Correct track fixings are vital to door jamb strength. way to frame up your door jamb openings.
