Facilities upgraded at WestSide
13 June 2011
The toilet facilities and foyer at WestSide Performing Arts Centre have recently been upgraded.
Greater Shepparton City Council and Mooroopna Secondary College worked in partnership to refurbish and repaint the facilities.
Council's Manager Performing Arts and Conventions Steve Donelly said it was important to ensure facilities were of a high standard for the school students and WestSide patrons.
"Council worked with the school to ensure the works were carried out with a minimum level of disruption to users," Mr Donelly said.
"Works included a new ceiling and dividing wall as well as a repaint, lining, new sinks and mirrors in the female toilets, a repaint and new seats, new dividing wall and doorway, new sinks and mirrors and tiling in the male toilets.
"We also installed a new ceiling and lighting in the greenroom and repainted the all abilities toilet."
Some of the other works included:
- Dressing Rooms/Laundry – suspended ceiling with insulation, LED lighting.
- Foyers – repainted.
- "Green" lighting.
Acting Principal at Mooroopna Secondary College, Lynn Emmerson, was thrilled that the works were completed within budget and according to plan.
"It is such a welcome relief to work with Council to plan and finish a project such as this with a minimum of fuss and as a team with a common objective," said Ms Emmerson.
"The WestSide Performing Arts Centre complex is shared by theatre patrons, school users and students using the Coulson Centre so it is great to be able to bring the facilities to a higher standard for all concerned."
