Arts Centre CE West Theatre Restoration
About the Project
The repaired buildings opened in 2018 and now house a two-screen arthouse cinema, shared office space, a new restaurant and subsidised apartments for writers, scientists and artists.
Work commenced in late 2016 to restore another wing of the Christchurch Arts Centre badly damaged in the 2011 earthquakes.

Location
With the complex comprising the largest collection of heritage buildings in New Zealand, the restoration is expected to take many years. We’re privileged to be involved.
The project to restore the West Lecture building, which formerly housed the Free Theatre and five apartments, involved strengthening the building with a reinforced concrete skin wall on the inside of the façade, and new concrete floors to provide bracing.
