CBA relocate innovation labs to new offices

With the second building complete, Davenport Campbell is excited to hear that CBA plan to relocate IT staff, innovation labs to their new offices from August.

Site developer Mirvac said in a statement that ‘The Foundry’, a six-storey, 9,000sqm “groundscraper”, is now complete.

“The Foundry is set to become home to over 5500 Commonwealth Bank of Australia staff including the organisation’s innovation labs,” Mirvac said in a statement.

The interior of The Foundry includes “large open areas, hackable spaces – where barriers to collaboration can be removed – as well as quiet retreat zones for concentrative work”, the bank said.

Australian interior design and architecture firm, Davenport Campbell, designed the tenancy fitout “to foster innovation and ideas exchange”.

The full South Eveleigh precinct, encompassing CBA’s buildings and others, will be completed in 2021. It will ultimately comprise nine commercial buildings and shared public spaces.
