Queensland Academy of Sport

The Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre (QSAC) in Brisbane, QLD is a premier training hub for athletes and members of the public, as well as a popular event space. The refurbishment of its facilities transformed it into a training centre for elite athletes and a sports science hub, providing modern infrastructure for the success of Queensland and Australian athletes.

In Stage 2, construction was completed on a high-performance gym, sports science facility, office refurbishment, medical suites, athlete lounge, and the Western Grandstand foyer. In the foyer, durlum’s LOOP Type 3 metal ceiling with integrated Punteo lights was installed. This was the first installation of an authentic durlum LOOP design ceiling incorporating the durlum Punteo lighting in Australia.

The LOOP Type 3 creates an aesthetic ceiling pattern that appears to be three-dimensional. The integrated Punteo luminaire with intense luminosity guarantees brilliant light quality and soft light transitions. The LOOP Type 3 also incorporates an acoustic sub-ceiling to assist with the management of airborne noise.
