The old gymnasium block had to be replaced as seismic upgrading was not deemed to be a viable option.
The upgrade included adding new shear walls to the exterior of the building.
The existing gymnasium was replaced with a new gymnasium and a multi-purposed space which were designed to ‘high importance’ building code.
The accessibility and functionality of the building was also improved by adding a new elevator, improving administrative and staff spaces as well as adding additional learning and resource space.
