AUT EDT (Engineering, Design, Technology) building was a project that was delivered by Fletcher Construction. It was a tough site location in that it was built 'around' an existing building and the street frontages both had limitations in being small on one side and busy with pedestrian vehicular traffic on the other. As with all educational projects the delivery was programmed to meet a semester start so a fast facade delivery system was well suited to allow the fit out to advance despite some early programme issues.
The Thermosash Unitised Facade incorporated all the shade devices, the vertical fins to the auditorium on Symonds Street as well as the large format, tensile rope, folded plate shade devices on St Paul Street.
