Exciting times ahead at the MCG and the new MCC Australian Sports Museum

20th October, 2020

As we gear up for the AFL Grand Final this weekend, the anticipation is palpable! While the MCG will be quiet this year, we eagerly await the day when we can return to the ‘G’ to cheer on our teams and explore the newly opened MCC Australian Sports Museum.

Located on Basement Level 1 of the MCG, the logistics of transporting materials in and out presented quite a challenge, especially when it came to installing the structural steel frame for the glazed lift, which is elegantly suspended from a beam above. The lift pit stretches down to Basement Level 2, finishing just 50mm above the bustling bus traffic below—now that’s precision engineering!

And what can you expect from the Museum itself? Where to begin! Will it be the Sherrin Rock Climbing Wall, the mesmerizing Acoustic Sensory Geodesic Dome, or the engaging "Game On" exhibit? You’ll just have to come and experience it all for yourself when you can!

A huge shoutout to our Broadcast Design team for their exceptional work on this project!
