Innovatus Projects showcased their expertise and commitment to creating inclusive and functional spaces with the successful completion of the Community Gateway Life Centre, a facility designed to support individuals with disabilities as a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider. The project involved delivering a comprehensive 1500m2 fitout that integrated a 24-hour gym, a treatment space for physiotherapy, office accommodation for 20 people, and a welcoming café-style breakout area.

Engagement and Project Scope:

Community Gateway entrusted Innovatus Projects with the task of transforming the space into a multi-functional Life Centre, catering to the diverse needs of their clients. The project scope was extensive, encompassing various aspects, including demolition, ceilings, plumbing, electrical, flooring, wall finishes, glazing, and carpark works. Innovatus Projects collaborated closely with Community Gateway to understand their specific requirements and design preferences, ensuring that the final result aligned with their vision for a modern, accessible, and inclusive facility.

Inclusive Gym and Treatment Space:

Innovatus Projects paid special attention to creating an inclusive and functional 24-hour gym that accommodates individuals with disabilities. The gym was thoughtfully designed with equipment and layout modifications to ensure accessibility and ease of use for all clients. Additionally, they integrated a dedicated treatment space for physiotherapy, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to cater to the rehabilitation needs of their clients.

Office Accommodation:

The office accommodation for 20 people was designed to provide a productive and comfortable workspace for Community Gateway's staff. Innovatus Projects carefully planned the layout to optimize workflow and collaboration, with attention to ergonomics and acoustics for a conducive work environment.

Welcoming Café-Style Breakout Area:

To foster a sense of community and relaxation, Innovatus Projects created a café-style breakout area within the Life Centre. This inviting space served as a hub for clients and staff to socialize, unwind, and build connections in a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.

Infrastructure and Services Integration:

The successful execution of the Life Centre project relied on Innovatus Projects' expertise in infrastructure and services integration. They installed new water, sewage waste, stormwater, and fire services to ensure compliance with safety standards and the facility's operational needs. Additionally, they handled electrical and lighting power installation to provide a well-lit and functional environment for all areas within the centre.

Flooring and Wall Finishes:

Innovatus Projects carefully selected flooring and wall finishes that not only met the facility's aesthetic requirements but also catered to practical considerations. The materials chosen were durable, easy to maintain, and provided a cohesive design throughout the facility.

Glazing and Accessibility:

The integration of glazing throughout the Life Centre allowed for natural light to illuminate the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Innovatus Projects ensured that the glazing adhered to accessibility standards, providing clear sightlines and unobstructed pathways for easy navigation by all clients.

Carpark Works:

In addition to the interior fitout, Innovatus Projects took care of the carpark works, ensuring a safe and accessible parking area for clients and staff. Proper traffic flow, designated accessible parking spaces, and clear wayfinding signs were implemented to enhance the overall user experience.

In conclusion, Innovatus Projects' completion of the Community Gateway Life Centre demonstrates their dedication to creating inclusive and accessible spaces that cater to diverse needs. By closely collaborating with Community Gateway, they successfully delivered a multifunctional facility, integrating a 24-hour gym, physiotherapy treatment space, office accommodation, and a welcoming café-style breakout area. Their expertise in handling various aspects, from infrastructure to glazing, exemplifies Innovatus Projects' commitment to delivering comprehensive and well-executed fitout projects for organizations that seek to make a positive impact on their communities.
