PP20 Albany Senior High School Over the course of the 13 months build the project team managed this complex project and ambitious project, producing a school built for the next generation where students and staff are fully integrated with flexible and open learning spaces that enable an innovative learning environment. The project team transformed a bush-clad four-hectare site on Albany Highway with an ecologically important stream running through it and also included the restoration of a heritage school building that has been located on site since 1897. Challenges Faced Managing a space constrained site The Ministry of Education had previously undertaken a feasibility study for the planned four hectare site for the school. However, for a school of this scale that includes 1300 students, a 20,000m building with 300 car parking spaces as well as capacity for 12 buses, the site was extremely limited. Project: Albany Senior High School Publication date: 2010 When this space was further reduced to three hectares due to the need to protect an area of natural bush and a stream running Client: Ministry of Education Architect: Jasmax Architects Client Representative: White Associates Contractor: Arrow International A view of the new Albany Senior High School In the latest addition to the Pathfinder Programme, we return to school to examine how key stakeholder management and a team commitment to collaborative working delivered the next generation of school in Albany. Background The $60m five-storey facility is New Zealand's first senior secondary school. It is a state-of-the-art secondary school comprising of two levels of car parking and three levels of learning communities that can cater for up to 1,300 students (Years 11- 13). The building is 20,000m and has specialist areas for faculties including art, science, hard tech, media, dance & music, a separate gymnasium complex with a sports field and hard courts. Region: Auckland Sector: Education/Public Building Final Contract Value: $60m Tender: Design & Build Construction timescale: January 2009 to April 2010 Form of Contract: NZS 3915 through the site, the design constraints were even more onerous. It also created significant logistical issues and site constraints during the delivery of the project. Dealing with an environmental setback Due to the environmentally-sensitive nature of the site and local wildlife the project team faced delays in getting the site designation and had to develop temporary accommodation that enabled the team to test some of the design concepts that the team had been considering. The designation conditions compromised the original design and the team had to innovate orientating and migrating the structure closer to the road and utilising the space over the bus bays. The new design was more complex and varied in height. It did, however, maintained the commitment to deliver the same teaching and learning space as in the original design and, as a result, created a richer building and site for the school. Handling shorter timescales As a result of the delay in obtaining consents, the building period was reduced to 13 months. Prior to starting on site the project team met in a series of pre-planning workshops to micro manage the construction programme and to phase the relevant consents and packages accordingly to accelerate the programme. As a result, the team worked together to develop a solution that would meet the revised build timetable. This included changing the originally planned concrete frame to a steel frame. A pre- fabricated glazed and solid cladding system was introduced.
