University of Canterbury

Lead Consultant & Design Manager (Architectural Services)

The University of Canterbury (UC) wishes to procure a Lead Consultant and Design Manager capable of helping us to deliver a modern fit-for-purpose Wellness Hub that enhances the student experience, provides excellent learning outcomes and attracts local and international students and staff. The Hub consists of three parts: a new Recreation and Sport Centre, (‘Rec Centre’) an adjacent artificial turf multi-sport playing field, and the Faculty of Health (FoH) is to be relocated to the near-by existing Rec Centre which requires a refurbishment. This development will require:

 Modern, appealing facilities that increase engagement and participation in wellness activities.
 Fit-for-purpose facilities that support modern teaching and research practices and which also assist in recruiting and retaining staff and students.
 Facilities that are safe and built (and operate) to appropriate codes.
 Facilities that maximise space utilisation and efficiency whilst accommodating forecast growth in student and staff numbers and modest membership from the wider community.
