Te Akonga
Early Learning Centre

The years spent operating from an old building with very restricted space and facilities has finally paid off for the community and management committee of this brand new purpose built preschool. The frustration and challenges of their previous surroundings ensured that the design team had developed an extremely well thought out and tightly defined design and construction brief.

Built on a small site to a strict budget, conventional construction methods and materials have been used. Internally, exposed trusses create a sense of height and space, as well as providing an effective overhead display system. Hessian board on many of the internal walls provides a durable wall lining that doubles as an attractive display area.
