The redevelopment of NIWA’s Wellington site at Greta Point involves construction of new buildings and experimentation facilities on the existing site whilst NIWA maintains a reduced presence on the campus throughout construction.

The staged site redevelopment comprises:

• Demolition of existing Allen Building and ancillary buildings at the North end of the site.
• Site infrastructure including bulk fill to adjust site levels.
• Construction and fitout of a new three level 9,000m2 building to accommodate laboratories and visitor facilities on the ground floor, and office workspace on levels 1 and 2.
• Construction and fitout of new 700m2 building for NIWA’s Invertebrate Collection.
• Landscaping and outdoor experimentation facilities.
• Demolition of existing Brodie and East buildings and ancillary buildings.
• Seismic strengthening and 900m2 extension to existing Brodie Store for labs, storage and workshops.
• Partial demolition and seismic strengthening of existing Allen Store building housing NIWA’s high performance computer facility (operation to be maintained throughout alterations.)
• New boat store, chemical store building, bike store and site landscaping / parking / hardstanding.

This ROI relates to the shortlisting of 3 – 4 suitably qualified construction contractors to tender for the NIWA Wellington redevelopment works.
