“Panel Discussion: Facilities management and integration in the design process”
Martin Leitch, Richard Harris, Mark Sinclair, Stephan Goodhue, Glen Gordon, Charles O’Donnell

Of all the phases of a building’s life cycle, the operational phase carries the highest financial cost to the building owner or occupier. Yet there are many examples of decisions made during the design and construction phases that result in costly operational and maintenance challenges. This session aims to identify ways in which the management and operation of buildings can better influence these early phases. Hear what key stakeholders have to say, ask questions of the panel members, and share your experiences of good and not so good building design.

“Rehousing Genius: The new Len Lye Contemporary Art Museum”
Andrew Patterson and Mark Kessner

Architect Andrew Patterson and electrical engineer Mark Kessner talk about designing the Len Lye Contemporary Art Museum in New Plymouth, New Zealand's only dedicated single-artist gallery.

“Health and Safety Reform Bill: Preparing for change”
