OUR IMPACT
Gorman House was originally built in 1925 as a hostel for public servants. Today, the historical building has been repurposed as the Gorman Arts Centre – a hub for the artists and the wider community of Canberra.
Vortex Fire played a pivotal role in refurbishments of the building as Fire Engineering Consultants, ensuring compliance with all applicable fire safety codes and regulations mandated by the National Construction Code, while preserving the building’s architectural and historical significance. Vortex Fire also developed an Interim Fire Safety Strategy (IFSS) for the Gorman House Arts Centre renovation works.
The project is a result of a partnership with Phillip Leeson Architects and Complete Constructions Australia, combining expertise to create a dynamic and innovative arts hub that meets the evolving needs of Canberra’s artistic community.
