St Leonards Centre
Designed by architects Kerr & Smith, this sculptural brutalist number opened in 1972.
Here's an extract from a bruchure on the opening of the St Leonards Centre in Crows Nest, Sydney.
‘To those who work here, St Leonards Centre has been designed as a home away from home for the 400 people who will eventually work there. It is fully air-conditioned, tastefully decorated in bright colours, carpeted throughout, and includes every possible staff amenity.
In order to gain maximum utilisation from St Leonards Centre, parts of it will work around the clock. The computer installation, for example, never needs to sleep, eat meals or take holidays, and seldom gets sick. When fully operational, St Leonards Centre will employ staff on a three shift basis - about 300 on daylight, 60 on twilight and 40 on night. Cleaning and maintenance of the building will be carried out in the small hours of the morning to eliminate needless interruptions.
