WORKSHOP | AUCKLAND | CPD: 10

This June we are delivering two Building Legends workshops on Passive Fire – one in Auckland and one in Christchurch.

Passive fire protection is a crucial element of fire protection that should be planned for from the very initial design stages of any new building – and retrofitted where possible into all existing building fit-outs.

We’ve heard from our members that they would like to learn more about Passive Fire protection and to understand how passive fire design, installation and compliance works in relation to their roles. This workshop will bring together expert speakers to give you the low-down on what you need, how to deliver it, and who to go to.

Our speakers will be covering these main topics

• Design and how to make the right choices for our projects
• Installation / Suppliers – how to liaise with the experts
• Compliance

SITE VISIT | WELLINGTON | CPD :3

MEMBERS ONLY 

Join our Institute and NAWIC Wellington members to learn about the design and construction of the new Snow Leopard Enclosure with Naylor Love at Wellington Zoo.

Opened in April, the new Snow Leopard Habitat has been designed to ensure that Asha and Manju live their best possible lives at Wellington Zoo and that they can provide and support best practice animal care and welfare.

The habitat emulates the Snow Leopard's natural environment, encouraging the animals to display natural behaviours. The steep, rocky terrain provides physical exercise by encouraging jumping and climbing. The habitat offers plenty of space for Asha and Manju to patrol, including trees for climbing and scratching. The design of the habitat allows the Snow Leopards to feel camouflaged and rest whilst still being visible to visitors.

Naylor Love are thrilled to have been able to continue their relationship with Wellington Zoo, having been involved in the Zoo's redevelopment since 2007 with the construction of the Wild Theatre. They are grateful to play a role in building places for the community to enjoy and to assist in the amazing rehabilitation and conservation work that the Zoo do.
