Mainzeal Projects in Property Council Awards
Mainzeal projects had well deserved successes at the 2010 Property Council of New Zealand Awards, announced 18 June at the gala dinner.
Birkenhead Library and Civic Centre received an Excellence Award and Braemar Hospital received a Merit, both in the Special Purpose Category.
Mainzeal was the main contractor for the purpose-built Birkenhead Library and Civic Centre which was officially opened in March 2010. Standing proudly in the Highbury shopping precinct and built over two and a half stories, the facility effectively packs in library operations, council services, meeting and community rooms, a Citizen’s Advice Bureau, Plunket Office, archives and public toilets.
The judges commended the building for its cutting edge architecture, space planning and design.
"It is a great achievement to receive industry recognition for the architectural value of the library. This adds to the overwhelming praise we have received from the local community, which in itself is a rare accomplishment for a public facility," says Tony Holman, Chair of the Community Services and Parks Committee.
Braemar Hospital in Ohaupo Road was a Mainzeal Design and Build project. It opened in April 2009 and is one of the most modern and well equipped hospitals in the country. The hospital offers both day and inpatient services.
