scott point primary SCHOOL
hobsonville
The new Scott Point Primary School features eight innovative learning hubs, equivalent to 28 teaching spaces which are interconnected by a bridge across two blocks, with an administration and central resource area, library and two specialist teaching spaces. A new multipurpose hall has been designed for assemblies and gymnasium use. A separate BLENNZ Satellite Unit with a Visual Resource Centre is located at the northern end of the campus, and shares the hall and library spaces.
Stakeholder engagement – asking and listening, was a real highpoint of this project, with the School and Board, local community, neighbouring interests, iwi and hapū collaborating with our project team and the Ministry. Through clear and open communication about the project, the project’s priorities and programme remained well in sight.
Although the procurement model changed early, due to external factors, the project team was able to steer the project through the design, consenting and procurement phases, into a well-planned and structured construction phase that could deliver the optimal teaching and learning environment for the School. The result is an inspiring learning environment, a welcome addition to a fast-growing residential development.
