Cascade Residential Sector

A high-capacity accommodation sector for staff of the GATE Cascade Research Facility, the Residential Sector is a home away from home for personnel who may be on site for weeks at a time - and often longer. Including shared accommodation for up to nine hundred people, an executive wing, recreation facilities, and even a shopping district, this sector is often simply referred to as 'Residences'. Built on the pre-existing mine site accommodation, it was designed by the late and renowned Indonesian architect Giring Mohede, before being extensively refitted and re-opened in late 1979.
