Construction is all go at the University’s Christchurch campus redevelopment site on Oxford Terrace in the Te Papa Hauora health precinct after the site was blessed on Friday, 10 June.
Leighs Construction began Stage II early works on the Oxford Terrace – Tuam Street site in Christchurch on Monday, 13 June and campus members are thrilled to watch the project develop.
Project Director, Donna Howell says the blessing involving Dean of Christchurch campus, Professor Suzanne Pitama, project staff, members of the Ratana Church, Ngāi Tūāhuriri, contractors, senior professional staff and students, went well.
The highlight of the event for Donna was having the team from Leighs Construction present, lending the occasion “a sense of sort of both reflection and excitement about getting underway.”
“The conditions were perfect. It felt auspiciously positive,” she says.
McMillan Drilling continues to test bores for the ground source heat pump system to be used for the new building.
