Auckland Museum Redevelopment
2012 - Auckland MuseumAllendale performed the electrical installation for the existing Museum upgrade (1995-2000) and the more recent Stage 2 works - Grand Atrium Project.
The recent works increased the museum's floor space by 60% and included digging out 2 basement levels and infilling the existing crescent at the rear of the building.
The new space is fitted out as storage, offices, classrooms, special exhibition space, and function areas. The electrical work, which was done for Hawkins Construction, had a final value in excess of $3 M.
Special care was required during construction to interface with the existing installation so as not to disrupt the working Museum or the unique nature of this majestic building.
