Rangi Ruru Girls High School was one of the many places badly damaged by the Christchurch Earthquake in 2011. As a result, they, unfortunately, lost over 50 per cent of the schools' buildings. They used this as an opportunity to redesign the school campus, and their vision was named Project Blue Sky.
Designed by Upton Architects Ltd, and constructed by Leighs Construction, Equus is proud to be a part of the first stage of this rebuild with our Equus SOPREMA Duotherm Roofing System installed by Wayman Roofing Services.
