CAMERON CHISHOLM & NICOL ARCHITECTS

Established in 1884, the firm has been in continuous operation since that time under a changing but continuing partnership structure. A structural engineering section was added to the Perth office in 1964 and in 1969 an office was opened in Canberra. An office was set up in Adelaide in 1977, to operate as a joint venture practice and to undertake a large commercial project. During 1982 a Sydney office was established and a Brisbane office in 1987.

In Western Australia the firm has been responsible for many major buildings, including the Empire Games Village (1962), Boans Forrest Place store, the Alexander Library building, Allendale Square, Burswood Island Resort and Casino and the Transperth Bus Junction.
