Arrow International Takes The Win

23 August 2010

Arrow International’s Auckland Project Manager, Craig Brosnan, won the New Zealand Institute of Building award last Friday in the much contested category for Projects $25M - $75M category.

The award was presented to Craig Brosnan at the annual prize giving ceremony for his outstanding management of the Albany Senior High School project that was completed earlier this year on Auckland’s North Shore.

Craig and the project team constructed the 20,000m2 five-storey school comprising of two levels of car parking and three levels of learning communities with specialist areas for the likes of art, science, hard tech, media, dance & music, a separate gymnasium complex with a sports field and hard courts in a back-breaking 13-month timeframe.

Arrow has been the dominant player in the new school building programme over the past five years. Albany was the largest and most challenging school the Ministry of Education has completed. It is now seen as “state of the art” for a senior high school in New Zealand.

Northern Director, Graeme Birkhead, says that Craig should be incredibly proud of what he has achieved.

“This project and subsequent win will hold Arrow in good stead as we seek to transfer our knowledge into the Government Private Public Partnership (PPP) plans for new schools. We’re well advanced in PPP construction and are more than ready for this new approach.”

This award follows on from Arrow’s success in 2009 when Julian Huggins won for the Te Whanau o Tupuranga school project in the $15M - $50M category.
