This secondary school classroom building demonstrates progress in mass timber construction for the Ministry of Education. The building model allows standard and specialist teaching spaces to be arranged in a linear layout, while providing flexibility for use across many school campuses in Aotearoa. In this case, it supports a horticulture programme, with practical interior spaces that connect directly to greenhouses and gardens. Upstairs, warm, light-filled classrooms support whole-class learning alongside smaller focused spaces beneath a generous light shelf. Carefully chosen materials celebrate the exposed structure, encouraging curiosity about how the building is made and how it functions.
