UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO

This exciting project for the School of Music, Theatre and Performing Arts encompasses a new build and refurbishment of existing buildings to create specialist performing, recording and teaching spaces. The development includes a new two-level recording studio building, while also refurbishing the nearby University of Otago College of Education’s music suite, teaching wing, tower block, and part of the education resource centre.

State-of-the-art recording studios are complemented by flexible teaching spaces and communal areas for students to showcase their work. The key quality driver for the project is acoustic performance; the studio spaces include a floating acoustic floor slab and specially designed acoustic wall linings and services penetrations.

Our role included construction management, programme, stakeholder management and making sure all the project milestones hit just the right note.

We already have a strong tradition in music and performing arts, and this development will allow our students to learn in world-class facilities.
