WESTERN SPRINGS COLLEGE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Western Springs College Ngā Puna O Waiōrea Redevelopment is New Zealand’s largest-ever public school rebuild. The project redefines the school’s approach to teaching and learning. No longer an aggregation of small-scale, single-storey blocks, the new Western Springs College Ngā Puna O Waiōrea is now a vertical campus where 80% of teaching and learning activities happen under one roof.
The design team at Jasmax chose modulyss Millennium NXTGEN carpet tiles because of their durable and sustainable 100% regenerated ECONYL yarn construction.
The expansive colour options in the range allowed for design decisions that created a subtle but vibrant open space for the students and staff.
Installed by Hills Commercial Flooring, the various colours of the carpet tiles showcase the different spaces of the building.
While one area pops purples another utilises complimentary blues, all while keeping to the cool-toned colour palette.
