Project Update 8
Master Plan Phase 1 Developments Building Saint Kentigern
During 2018, the Trust Board was pleased to confirm the Master Plan for significant development of new, purpose-built facilities, and enhancement of current facilities, on the Shore Road Campus and Pakuranga Campus.
Since the last issue of Piper, work has continued to progress on projects at both the Shore Road and Pakuranga Campuses, with work tracking well against all expectations, especially given the circumstances of this year. Whilst there was a hiatus in work on the Shore Road construction site early in the year, during the four weeks we were locked down at Level 4, work picked up quickly on return and despite a second period of lockdown in August, we are very pleased with the overall progress during the course of this year.
Pakuranga Campus
We are pleased that the final phase of the Chapel refurbishment is now complete, with the addition of a new toilet block that blends harmoniously with the original building.
College Principal, Mr Russell Brooke has completed a review of the approved Concept Master Plan, with a particular focus on priorities for development and timing of the next new building. It has been decided that the most pressing need is for a new 46 general classrooms building that will be the next new building development on the site of the existing Wingate block (the original staffroom fronting the Mackey Quad). Planning will get under way in earnest in 2021 and it is anticipated that construction may commence at the beginning of 2024, if not sooner. Planning work has also commenced on the development of a Landscape Master Plan for the campus, which will integrate with the Concept Master Plan for the new buildings.
