2024 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Tauranga Boys' College – New Teaching Block
This project comprises a new teaching block, staff carpark extension and the development of external courtyard spaces. The project transforms a previously under-utilised area into an integral, multi-functional part of the campus. The two-storey building aligns with the vehicle entry as a continuation of the public edge and addresses the street boundary with a shrouded roof form. Classrooms can be independent or interconnected, providing flexible learning spaces that open into shared communal zones to provide a multitude of learning environments and educational opportunities. The result is a unique, specific and meaningful design that motivates learning in a variety of settings and has improved outcomes for all its users.
