Included in the works is a kitchen area for consumer food preparation, sensory booths, open plan office with meeting rooms and toilet facilities in an area of approximately 700m2.
Starting with a large, empty warehouse, the need to convert it to a state-of-the-art hospitality training facility and a very tight timeline placed the Brosnan team under significant pressure to deliver. The fact the finished product also went on to win an Award is just one indication of the successful outcome of the project.
The ever-growing population of New Zealand means that our educational facilities are under constant review as the student roll also continues to grow.

North Shore Hospital Building 5 was constructed in the 1960’s for the purpose of being occupied as staff accommodation. The structure of the building consists of an inadequately filled concrete masonry reinforced exterior cladding with a hollow clay block used as formwork for the 70mm concrete floors. The 2nd story resides of a mix of internal concrete brace walls and structural timber holding the light weight roof. The new purpose of the building is to create a hospital outpatients ward on level zero and offices and teaching facilities on level one and two.
If you were to list the potential issues that might hinder the timely and successful completion of a project, you’d probably pick this one to provide a living example of how to overcome them. Not only a working hospital environment, but the added tension of renovating birthing suites – the team had it all on this project.
Working in the heart of a live hospital environment always poses a number of challenges. This project involved the refurbishment and modernisation of six family lounge rooms across different levels at the North Shore Hospital and had a short timeframe for delivery, resulting in the Brosnan team having to be highly creative with some of their working solutions.
Repairing any commercial building damaged by an earthquake brings with it a series of challenges; but when that building is also a high-tech support centre for Canterbury and the South Island, which needs to remain working 24/7 throughout the construction phase and that’s a whole different level of difficulty.
The key to this project was the way in which Brosnan Construction worked with their associated trades and supply chain during a short timescale to ensure delivery of this phase of the construction.
