National Anzac Centre, Albany, Western Australia

This new visitor centre is sited overlooking the bay from which Anzac forces departed for Gallipoli in 1915

In this evocative exhibition FIT Architects and the Gibson Group integrated a variety of audio-visual technologies to bring World War I stories to life. 

The centre has been a critical success, winning Best Heritage Tourism Project at the 2015 Western Australian Heritage Awards and ranking #21 in Lonely Planet’s top worldwide travel experiences for 2015. 

Since opening the exhibition has eclipsed its visitor targets, achieving its first year projections within the first six months.
