Client:
National Rugby League and NEP Australia
Status: Completed Feb 2016
Description:
The Central Control Centre project known as "The Bunker" is home to the referees for the National Rugby League (NRL). The facility allows for all video referee decisions to be made in one central location.
The control room gives referees full access to camera footage of the games with simultaneous viewing of multiple camera angles. The Bunker allow calls to be made more quickly and in a consistent manner.
This short turn around fit out for NEP was commenced in September 2015 with completion in early 2016, ready for the first games of the new season. During that time Turner Hughes Architects worked with the client, builders and suppliers to come up with solutions to keep the project on time and budget.
The ‘Bunker’ which is both a set and a control room involves technical aspects with the need to look good on camera. The facility is featured regularly on live coverage of the sport.
The ‘Bunker’ is supported by other areas in the fit out, including referee work areas, match review and edit facilities.
Press coverage for the project has been extensive and feedback has been positive.
