Te Aratai Wins at Property Industry Awards

Nick Colville —

The Architects and Construction Team of our rebuild have won the "Greenstone Group Education Property Award" at the Property Council New Zealand - Property Industry Awards.

The Property Industry Awards are unique in that they recognise not just innovative design and construction, but also assess nominees on their economic and social contribution, sustainability, vision and owner and user satisfaction.

The judging panel were impressed with the school's connection to its community, with a "Creativity and Innovation Block to house a wide variety of Science, Technology and Arts-focused teaching spaces, catering to both in-house and the surrounding Primary and Intermediate schools, in lieu of the facilities they don’t have. The campus also included a wharenui, multipurpose hall and gymnasium to bring together the local and wider community for cultural, sporting and other community events."
