Wellington East Girls’ College

The redevelopment of the main block involved preserving and strengthening the historical 1920’s brick façade and vestibule, behind which sits a new state-of-the-art building containing 28 teaching spaces, a West Wing and circulation Link building. This was one of the Ministry’s largest school projects in Wellington city.

The new facilities include a cultural centre, performance precinct, art studios, media suite, library, extensive food technology space, café, administration areas and a central quad area.

This complex project required strong thinking on several fronts; delivering in a live school environment; efficient staged programming; and complex construction to strengthen and marry the historical façade and vestibule elements with the new build.
