National Wine Centre
System Solutions Engineering has completed major service upgrades at the National Wine Centre.
In conjunction with treasury funding, the University of Adelaide initiated a capital refresh project to replace mechanical, electrical and fire services through Industry House and the Wine Centre building – installing modern technologies to improve consumer experience and energy efficiency. Substantial running cost savings have been achieved, without altering the building’s unique aesthetic character – a challenge often posed for Adelaide’s many buildings with a strong heritage value.
