Sydney Harbour YHA (NSW)
Contract value: $28.0m
Client: YHA Australia
Architect: Tzannes and Associates
Completion date: December 2009
The new, purpose built Sydney Harbour YHA and The Big Dig Archaeology Education Centre is a three to four storey building with a floor space of 4714 square metres. The development contains a 106 bedroom youth hostel accommodating 354 guests and a two classroom education centre including a simulated archaeology dig and retail space.
YHA and The Big Dig Archaeology Education Centre are built on ‘The Dig Site' at Cumberland and Gloucester Streets, where structural remains dating from 1795 and more than one million artefacts have been found since excavation began in 1994. To preserve and showcase these archaeological remains, the YHA is raised off the ground on pillars and an on-site archaeology education centre is available to education groups. The project is the largest archaeological urban development ever completed in the southern hemisphere and Australia's first purpose built environmentally sustainable youth hostel in a central city location.
