Grenfell Centre is a high rise office building and is the third tallest building in Adelaide, Australia, with a height of 103 metres (338 feet). It was the tallest building in the city until surpassed by the Telstra House in 1987.[1] It comprises 26 floors and was completed in 1973. In the 1980s, the building's foyer and interior were refurbished. The 11 metre tall antenna was attached in 1980 and upgraded with digital transmitters in 2003.[citation needed]
In 2007, the building was redeveloped and two frameless glass cubes were constructed at the entrance of the building. This redevelopment earned it the Royal Australian Institute of Architects Commercial Architecture Award of Commendation.[2]
As of May 2016[update], Oracle uses the building;[3] over the last few years, the company logo has been displayed at the top.
