High School Library Refurbishment

High School Library Refurbishment banner

The existing Library, built in the 1970s, was badly in need of refurbishment and the school took the opportunity to change it's focus to a centre of learning for the school. The new design took on an industrial aesthetic — the concept of a `Learning Factory' was embraced and reflected in the internal fitout.

Externally the use of Trespa cladding enabled us to use the wide range of colours available to incorporate motif and tonal variation to reflect the school's strong Polynesian role and the history surrounding the English navigator James Cook, for whom the school is named. The result is a 'Enew' Library that has become a focus point for the school as well as a multi use space for functions and special school events

Abri has completed a wide and varied repertoire of work since inception. The company has remained medium sized and is able to offer personal attention to our clients' needs. We can quickly analyse a brief and advise on a recommended process to get the best out of the site, budget and requirements.

We are all highly qualified and enjoy working in a team environment. This approach is one of the keys to any successful development, and our ability to interact with our clients, other consultants and construction personnel ensures that a diversity of skills are available to provide an inclusive approach to problem solving - leading to a better result.

We have projects completed as far afield as Turangi, Hawkes Bay, Northland and the Coromandel as well as the Fiji islands.

We use the most up to date computer modelling techniques, and these enable all participants in the process to easily and fully understand the concept and intent of the design work we produce. Communication is key to successful design and our technology allows us to interact with remote clients easily and effectively.
