MSC undertook structural and civil engineering services for two classroom blocks for the Whangarei Girls High School.
MSC has a strong relationship with, and has undertaken a number of school projects for, design and construction specialists A-Line Construction. These include the $4.5m, 1,040m2 classroom block for the arts and commerce classes at Whangarei Girls High School. The two-level block has five large classrooms on each level, with access to break-out space, a literacy area and resource storage.
A large concrete balcony on the second level, with a cantilevered roof, serves as a stage for outdoor performances.
A-Line contracted MSC as civil and structural engineers for the project, which used exposed precast concrete panel construction for the walls and floor and required a large spanning roof to allow for the open-plan layout. MSC also undertook observation of construction as the building was successfully completed over a tight 12-month time frame.
