MACLEANS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BLOCK Stage 1 of 3
EDUCATION / $16m / Auckland

The demolition and re-build of the Macleans Science and Technology Block is a 3 stage project. Stage 1 involved the demolition of the existing asbestos clad, leaking facilities, and construction of the new 800m2 Food and Technology Block. In total, this block consisted of seven new teaching spaces made up of a food tech room, computer teaching space, wood and metal working rooms with welding bays. Once completed, C3 was responsible for the relocation of the existing machinery, fittings, and fixtures, which had to be transferred from the old to the new block during the school holiday period to ensure continuity for Macleans College students. Stage 1 of this project involved significant challenges such as working within a live school environment, removing asbestos and contaminated ground, tight working areas, and detailed delivery management to ensure no downtime or disruptions during schooling, especially during specific periods of time i.e., Cambridge Exams.

FLANSHAW ROAD SCHOOL SNU
EDUCATION / $2m / Auckland

This project involved the build of a Special Needs Unit on the Flanshaw Road School campus. Special consideration had to be given to materiality and quality of finishes due to the unique requirements of some of the students. C3 is proud to have sourced an alternative, value for money, playground solution to ensure the students would have access to tactile play areas to suit their needs. A project that was humbling to be involved with, C3 loves to be part of delivering buildings for kids who need and appreciate them.

HAURAKI PRIMARY SCHOOL STAGE 1
EDUCATION / $6m / Auckland

This project, completed in February 2021, was a 2 stage project, firstly involving an enabling works package, undertaking the demolition of the existing asbestos clad classroom and infrastructure blocks and construction of a new carpark and services compound. Then in stage 2, the construction of a new 2 storey teaching block housing 10 classrooms with associated resource and amenities. C3 was engaged under an ECI contract to assist with the buildability of design, with particular focus on site access constraints and logistics. C3 takes its ECI commitments seriously, a detailed report at Developed Design stage ensured clear strategies were identified and reported to the client as a means to mitigate projects risks early on.

MACLEANS COLLEGE MANSFIELD HOUSE
EDUCATION / $5m / Auckland

This design and build project involved the rebuild of Mansfield House, circa 1000m2 of Whanau Block unique to Macleans College. The design team, lead by Roy Bloc of Brewer Davidson Architects, thoughtfully designed a building that fit the Macleans College Whanau Block pedagogy, but also was flexible enough to fit the MOE Innovative Learning Environment standards. Tight timeframes drove split consents and fast tracked design and construct methodologies to ensure completion on time.
