Massey University delivered a world class research and teaching facility to allow collocation of multiple science cohorts including food, health, marine and physical science within a new 10,200m2 building.

The building accommodated animal quarantine facilities (insects and spiders) along with PC1 and PC2 Laboratories.

Johnstaff provided project management resources imbedded within the Massey University project delivery team for the construction phase of the project.

Johnstaff worked closely with the contractor, client, and project stakeholders to ensure the complexities of the research and laboratory spaces were delivered to a high standard and met all certification requirements.

The project was delivered on time and on budget through a period disrupted by COVID-19 restrictions, material shortages and long lead times and workforce challenges.

The client, contractor and project team worked collaboratively to mitigate these project challenges where possible which was assisted by the Early Contractor Involvement procurement where the façade and Building services were delivered as a Design and Construct package.
