Fitzroy Pavilion returns as a premier destination for ACT’s biggest events

The refurbishment of the Fitzroy Pavilion at EPIC ACT was a comprehensive and transformative project that aimed to modernize the space while enhancing its functionality and sustainability. One of the key features of the renovation was the installation of new window openings, which significantly improved the amount of natural light flowing into the building. This not only created a more vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for visitors but also contributed to the overall energy efficiency of the Pavilion by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. Additionally, a new airlock entry was introduced, improving accessibility and security for all visitors. This new entry system ensures that the Pavilion remains secure while offering a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor environments, enhancing the overall user experience.

A major part of the refurbishment included a full renovation of the commercial-grade kitchen, which was designed to support large-scale events and cater to a wide range of functions. The updated kitchen is now equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and modern amenities, making it an ideal space for catering to large groups during events and gatherings. Similarly, the bathrooms and changerooms were completely revamped to offer enhanced comfort and functionality. The new facilities are designed to accommodate large numbers of attendees while maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and convenience.

These upgrades have not only improved the Pavilion’s aesthetic appeal but have also made it more adaptable and versatile, reinforcing its position as one of the premier event spaces in the Australian Capital Territory. With these enhancements, the Fitzroy Pavilion is now better equipped to host a variety of events, from community functions to large conferences, and continues to serve as an essential venue for the EPIC precinct. The refurbishment has transformed the Pavilion into a sustainable, modern space that meets the needs of today’s event-goers.
