The Advanced Technologies Centre was completed in early 2011 and was developed at a cost of $140 million.1

The building’s most interesting feature is its giant “spotted” concrete facade of its twin 10 storey towers which are dotted with portholes laid out in a geometrical pattern like an old fashioned dot matrix printer and its dominating three storey transparent glass street level podium which stands begging for attention in largely Victorian era streetscape.
