After nearly a year of seismic refurbishment, Studio One Toi Tū opened again earlier this month.
Built in 1906, this heritage building has now been strengthened to 67% of the new building standard (NBS), meaning it is no longer earthquake-prone under the current building legislation. In addition to the seismic works, other building improvements were also completed including re-roofing, fire safety enhancement, lighting installation, and repairs and maintenance works to preserve the historic building fabric.
The facility will be able to resume its full programme of activities, events and courses, after using alternative venues in the meantime. The term 4 programme is out now.
