A public seminar showcasing the special features of the new South Christchurch
Library/Service Centre/Learning Centre will be held on Wednesday 23 July
at the Cashmere Club, starting at 7pm. ‘We’d love our neighbours and members of the community to come
along, meet those involved in the construction of the building and find
out about its exciting features,’ says Christchurch City Libraries
Manager Sue Sutherland.
Speakers will include representatives from the
Library, Beckenham Service Centre, the Learning Centre, Warren
and Mahoney, Spreydon/Heathcote Community
Board and owners of the café Cup, who will be running the South Library
caf é.
Finishing touches are being put to the Library/Service Centre/Learning
Centre on the corner of Colombo St and Hunter Terrace, which
will be officially opened on Saturday 23 August.
Sustainability
is one of the building’s key themes - a feature requested
by the community during the Council’s consultation phase on the facility.
Designed
by Warren and Mahoney architects, it will be one of Christchurch’s
most environmentally friendly buildings. Its design minimises waste
and energy use as well as use of sustainable and non-toxic materials.
The
complex is being built by Mainzeal Property and Construction
on Christchurch City Council land formerly occupied by the Beckenham Service
Centre.
