Parramatta. Architectural firms merge

The merger of Parramatta-based Glanville Architects Pty Ltd, and the Sydney office of the Brisbane-based firm, Thomson Adsett Architects, will see the relocation of the Sydney CBD staff to Parramatta, bring the total employees in the Parramatta office to 40. Charles Glanville will become managing director, of Thomson Adsett in NSW. Charles Glanville, which has been operating in Western Sydney since 1976, moved to Parramatta in 1983. Mr Glanville began his private practice, in 1976, in Penrith, designing school facilities in that rapidly growing area of Sydney. In the tertiary education sector, the practice included 12 projects for the University of Western Sydney at six of their campuses, particularly, at Kingswood and Blacktown campuses. The practice relocated to Parramatta, in 1983, to be more accessible to both staff and clients.
