ORIGINALLY a machinery shed, the Acres complex has been given a new lease on life, thanks to the innovative thinking of Ralph Rogers.
The original building has been transformed with the environment in mind.
Large skylights have been installed to reduce electricity costs, while the 50-year-old floors have been refurbished using diamond-polishing and is now a showpiece of the original Mary River sand used in the concrete.
Renovating the building has stopped tonnes of building waste being dumped at landfill and has given an old building a new look and new vision for the future.
