To create an aesthetically-pleasing, functional, practical, modern gymnasium to meet the school’s immediate and future needs whilst also being an invaluable asset serving the local community.
- 750sq m project footprint, of which 626sq m is a gymnasium.
- Facilities in the gymnasium include a mezzanine floor with bleacher seating and storage underneath, also a sprung timber floor, associated amenities include a meeting room, changing rooms, large entrance foyer and wrap-around verandah.
LHTDesign worked closely with the main contractor Ahead Buildings, to provide structural, insulation, architectural and fire safety documentation for Building Consent purposes.
Throughout the school building project, LHTDesign utilised economic design and documentation methods and maximised the use of timber including laminated timber frames, Triboard wall panels. Practical and effective detailing as required by Ahead Buildings was provided to suit its construction methods and to obtain the best value for money for the owner.
The new complex has been positively received with good reviews from the Board of Trustees, staff and students alike. The local community is enthusiastic about the new amenity.
The project was finished within cost expectations as a result of the consistent effort put in by the project team (Ahead Buildings and LHTDesign).
