Ministry of Education
The Spreydon School BIM Pilot Project was the first of its kind for the Ministry of Education. It acted as a test project for the use of BIM in the design and construction of schools. The main construction aspect was the two new learning hubs. These were modern learning hubs with numerous break out spaces. An exisiting administration building and attached gymnasium/hall were also renovated. In addition to extensive renovation of the ground floor, the existing attic space was converted into a staffroom, with stairs and new lift.

The Christchurch Girls High School Performing Arts Centre building is a purpose-built facility that replaced the existing building. The former Centre suffered significant earthquake damage and was demolished. The new Performing Arts Centre building contains two levels of teaching spaces, which wrap around the north and west sides, administration spaces to the southern side and a 275 person theatre with associated performance spaces to the eastern side. The theatre area is wrapped with concrete panels and large concrete bleachers, that form the seats. This provides premium acoustic performance and sound separation from the adjacent teaching spaces.

New Shoots Children Centres
Whenuapai's New Shoots Childrens Centre is a playful and vibrant Early Learning Centre. The centre caters for 90 children, and features spacious, open-plan classrooms that connect directly to outdoor playgrounds. A highlight of the centre is the twisting timber walkway which leads people along the building to the entrance. This dynamic space connects indoor classrooms with outdoor playgrounds. The design is a playful take on the classic childrens game of hide and seek, where the revolving glulam structure creates spaces in which children can play, hide and explore.
