Lady Symon

A beautiful new exercise studio and E-Sport studio have been created in the Lady Symon building, taking advantage of the building's elegance and heritage features. 

An important project in the reactivation of the Union House precinct, the refurbishment of the Lady Symon building was affected by the coronavirus situation, with some of the planned works being deferred. Despite a reduced scope and budget, the project has delivered a multi-purpose studio and event space, high quality change facilities and an E-Sport facility.
