Rows of empty racks and tangled cables fill the abandoned server room within the ATL Building. This decaying infrastructure, once a data hub, stands silent since 2015.

ATL Building

2015 · 14 photographs

The ATL Building was the Meadowbank factory of Automatic Totalisers Limited, the company that built the mechanical and electromechanical totaliser machines for racecourse betting, ticket printing, and department-store sales recording. Designed in 1947 by Julius Poole and Gibson for Sir George Julius -- the engineer who patented the automatic totaliser -- it ran as two Art Deco buildings on the same site, one for the factory, warehouse, and offices, the other for the dressing rooms, showers, and canteen. The toolroom was said to be the largest and best equipped in the southern hemisphere. A second toolroom was added in 1975. As totaliser technology gave way to computers, the factory ceased production and the buildings were repurposed as a gym, church, office space, and dance school before being demolished in 2016 for apartment redevelopment.
