Built to accommodate both future capacity and the requirements of the Ministry of Education’s ‘Modern Learning Environments’ pathway, this new school is eminently suited to be a school of and for the future. Significantly, it also serves as an anchor building that lends identity and a sense of place to the growing urban-village hub of Hobsonville. The school’s crisp clean lines, ‘interior street’, flexible spaces and high-quality build are all fit for robust usage, and as the community matures this building will continue to serve as a place of public amenity.
