Goal
Waipārūrū Hall is the University of Auckland’s largest Student Accommodation offering to school leavers. The brand new student residence completed in January 2020 is to be home to 786 residents across two towers, tower A comprising 14 levels and tower B comprising 12 levels. Generous common area spaces and lounge facilities are provided on every floor Residents also enjoy generous communal facilities including study spaces as well as games and recreation spaces.
Waipārūrū is also the first student residence to offer a new catering style with multiple food serving stations offering a variety of food from different cuisines over 2 floors of dining and multiple food offerings.
How We Went About It
BFG were selected to provide all bedroom furniture comprising of Bed/ Mattress/ Wardrobe/ desk/ student chair/ bedside tables and pinboards to all 786 rooms – All items were delivered CKD and assembled on site over the course of a 2 month timeframe during construction phase.
Further to the bedroom furniture BFG were also chosen to supply common area and breakout furniture such as couches/ ottomans/ leaners/ dining tables and acoustic panelling.
Turn Out
We’re exceptionally proud and excited to have worked alongside both The University of Auckland and Dominion Construction to deliver both the bedroom furniture and common area furniture into this mammoth building project during the construction phase to meet the deadlines of Semester 1 student arrival.
The result is a well-equipped, comfortable living environment that supports both individual study and community life. With fully furnished private rooms and welcoming shared spaces, Waipārūrū Hall has become a flagship residence for the University of Auckland and a benchmark for modern student accommodation.
