Massey University's Te Ara Hihiko building is one of the most resilient buildings in Wellington, New Zealand. It is the first in the world to use a post-tensioned timber seismic frame. Click 'SHOW MORE' below for more information.


In production testing, the key structural features were found to withstand ground shaking and acceleration greater than that experienced in the Christchurch February 2011 earthquake. The College of Creative Arts will use the building for teaching, postgraduate research and exhibitions, with facilities that match or exceed industry best practice. The building combines Massey's creative vision with architectural design by Athfield Architects and engineering by Dunning Thornton Consultants.
