Gadigal Station sits at the heart of Sydney's new state-of-art metro system, connecting wider suburbs with the city's central business district and major retail precinct. Sitting at around 17 metres underground, the 250-metre-long station provides strategic relief to neighbouring Town Hall station and allows passengers to interchange with ease onto other modes of public transport.
Cundall’s sustainability team led Gadigal Station's Green Star submission and inputted into the Life cycle assessment (LCA) for the ISCA rating. Our team also worked with the client to ensure the project met Sydney Metro's wider sustainability strategy. The station features integrated public art, as well as a universal design and wayfinding system to ensure easy access and navigation for all passengers.
"Our team worked with the client to overcome the complexities of integrating a large underground station box - in the centre of a busy city - with an ongoing overground development, all whilst considering future passenger experience. Sustainability and cultural heritage were key considerations across this project which reflects in the choice of materials used, as well as the addition of cultural artwork.” Julian Bott, Partner
Our team helped to deliver a new underground station that is sustainably conscious, incorporates a passenger-first approach into its design, whilst ensuring it is in line with local heritage.
