Papamoa High School - off Tara Road

This school is due to open at the end of this month, 2011.
The design is different to current schools in that there are few set classrooms, instead there are open plan learning spaces. I like how the facade reinforces that without clear defined areas (curtain wall).
The main entrance (front)

Hi Guys!
Between the two main blocks is this quad area, adjoined by a mezzanine. I quite like how they have done the stairwells, but not completely convinced with the balustrade.


The school from the back - looking out over the sports fields.

Let's hope they don't whack some pre fabs around the place (as is the want of the Ministry) when the roll gets too big for these buildings.
