ProjectTe Wharekura o te Kaokaoroa o Pātetere, Putāruru

Working in the Waikato Region for the Ministry of Education on Te Wharekura o te Kaokaoroa o Pātetere in the South Waikato District town of Putāruru was a rewarding experience for TSA Riley. The kura (school) is level 1 Māori immersion school, with 80% instruction in te reo Māori.

This greenfield project involves the construction of six new learning spaces and a new toilet / shower block on the existing kura. Block A is a dynamic space able to be split into four separate learning spaces or opened up into a single large performance space. It also has a unique operable glazed external wall that opens overhead to the courtyard, creating seamless indoor / outdoor flow enabling the kura to maximise its performance space.

TSA Riley provided full project management services including Engineer to Contract and Engineer’s Representative.
