D&B – Puketaha Primary School – Reconstruction of Multi-Purpose Building & Classroom

The Puketaha Primary School Multi-Purpose and Classroom Rebuild Project is a Design & Build (D&B) project led by the Puketaha Board of Trustees with Ministry of Education funding support, following the loss of the school’s multi-purpose facility and one classroom, due to fire in 2024.
The project will reconstruct a new multi-purpose space and part of a classroom block, utilising the repeatable Papamoa College “Whare Ako” design, adapted to fit the existing 12 m × 23 m concrete slab. An assessment is underway to determine whether the existing slab can be reused, and if not, to what extent modifications or reconstruction may be required. The facility will include approximately 30 m² of internal partitions for a stage wall and two resource rooms, supporting performing arts and small group learning, as well as a new classroom.
Outcome sought is to deliver a fit-for-purpose, flexible learning and performance space that supports teaching delivery and community use while replacing the fire-damaged facility.
