Concept. Build System. Completion
Kaikoura District Council, Museum & Library
The 2,400m2 building provides new facilities for the Kaikōura museum, council offices and Library.
CPM Director Stuart Chadwick was tasked with the role of Design and Construction Manager to deliver an iconic Green Engineered Building that not only exceeded the current Earthquake Code requirements, but met the needs and standards of the tenants.
The innovative structural systems in this building are a New Zealand first, and required a high degree of co-ordination between engineers. This project gave rise to a unique collaboration between commercial and academic partners. The University of Canterbury’s School of Engineering created innovative structural timber solutions and architectural design, while maintaining a buildability system so a local team of builders could easily complete the erection. This met the condition imposed by Council CEO, Stuart Grant, who shared the vison of a New Zealand first Green Build system that was cost-effective and an asset to the community.
Update
On Monday 14 November, 2016, following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Kaikoura, a team of engineers visited the Kaikōura District Council building to assess the impact of the earthquake. The team was confident of the building's seismic strength, but suspected there may be some minor damage and yielding of the fuses. On inspection, few signs of damage were found, other than some movement at the joints between elements, and minor cracking of the pavement outside the building — suggesting the building would be able to withstand an earthquake of an even larger magnitude. The building was in such good shape that following the earthquakes a number of military, police and hospital staff were able to use the office spaces as a post-disaster headquarters.
