200 George Street, Sydney is Mirvac's latest Premium grade office tower. Designed by award winning architects Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp 200 George Street is set to be one of Australia's most environmentally advanced and sustainable buildings with a 6 Star Green Star - Office Design v3 rating achieved, and a 6 Star As Built rating and 5 Star NABERS rating being targeted. It's Australia's first fully LED lit building resulting in reduced power consumption costs, more efficient lighting, lower maintenance cycles and a reduction of landfill during the life of the fitting. The building is anchored by Ernst & Young whilst Mirvac are also relocating to the new development.

Part of the requirement for the building was for an integrated access control system, lift destination control system and turnstile solution to limit building access to only authorised occupants and visitors whilst speeding up pedestrian movement in to and up through the building. The caveat being the turnstile design had to blend in with the overall building design.

Centaman Entrance Control worked closely with the architects, Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp, to come up with a solution. The architects penned a concept for the turnstiles and the design team at Centaman Entrance Control came up with a solution marrying together the concept with an existing EasyGate model.

Based on the EasyGate HG, the design was customised so the pedestals where clad in the same stone as the concierge desks and the metal work was finished in black to ensure the speedgates complemented the overall design concept for the buildings striking lobby.
