The development comprised of 26 teaching spaces, including science laboratories, learning hubs, individual learning areas, teacher resource rooms, and a shared area used by both the school and the wider community.

Location: Rangiora
Main Contractor: Naylor Love
Mechanical Contractor: David Browne Contractors Ltd

Approach

Rangiora High School project consisted of 2300m2 underfloor heating with 10 FAR underfloor manifolds to ensure a consistent heat in the open learning environment. Due to the open learning space, underfloor heating provided a non-intrusive form of central heating, whilst providing continuous radiant warmth for students and staff.

Outcome

Working closely with the construction and design team Central Heating New Zealand provided a practical and efficient solution to deliver a comfortable environment to this building, underfloor heating is conductive with the learning and teaching environment as there are no drafts, noise, or cold spots making this a great investment for the current and future students of Rangiora High.
