The Newcastle Knights’ new $20 million Centre of Excellence at District Park, Broadmeadow NSW, was officially opened in March 2022. Bildspec Operable Walls was proud to be part of this project, supplying high-performance Series 100 acoustic walls in the function area, between the players’ dining facility and the kitchen/cafe area.

The centre provides a high-performance training, administration and community facility for the identification, development and fostering of rugby league talent. It includes three full-sized training fields, a state-of-the-art gym, multipurpose community and function area, theatrette and players’ lounge, rehabilitation space and office areas, and precinct walking and cycle path. Designed by EJE Architecture, the project was efficiently built by Richard Crookes Constructions.

Bildspec’s operable walls are often utilized by clubs and leisure venues to allow greater flexibility of spaces, through creating larger or smaller venue sizes at will. These operable acoustic walls offer each application varying acoustic properties that are not only fit for purpose but also highly attractive and user friendly.
