This school had a classroom block that was both earthquake prone and in serious need of a full refurbishment.
To manage the provision of teaching space for the school, the new building was built in two stages. The first stage included two Year 5 & 6 rooms that opened in time for the start of Term 4 2013.
Both rooms and the shared wet area open onto a large north-facing sheltered outdoor learning space.
Exposed roof trusses provide a clear demonstration of the roof construction as well as adding diversity to the interior space. The teachers and students love them of course, as they provide a place for displaying work.
