Designed by Croxon Ramsay, the new Glasshouse community and function centre for Collingwood Football Club was to provide elite player facilities, event spaces for the public and the Club and encourage community participation within the sports precinct in Melbourne, Australia. Requirements included a café, bars, multiple hospitality spaces, a lecture theatre, a gymnasium, players? rooms, storage facilities, meeting rooms and a boardroom. Many areas required individual access ? for example, the gym would be open to the public when the theatrette was closed, the café would be open when the function centre was not and players would require access to their rooms without meeting patrons of the café.
