RANGIORA LIBRARY

After an unsuccessful tender process Int. Workspaces were approached directly by the client to consult on a new internal fit out for the Rangiora Library. The scope of the project included a redesign of the existing library layout, new library shelving, service counter, soft seating and furniture. It was also requested for the removal and disposal of the existing shelving

“We met with the Library team on several occasions to review collection data, discuss shelving requirements and the overall vision for the space which included a focus for a welcoming, interactive children’s space” – Kate Baxter, Library Specialist for Int. Workspaces

As a result of that, Int. Workspaces provided a floor plan which included over 1000 linear metres of Intraspec shelving, furniture specifications and placement, as well as a corresponding product schedule.

Once the client had approved the floor plan and product schedule, we refined the final finishes, based on the client’s brand guidelines.

As with all projects of this scale and nature, there is always a pre-determined budget which we had to work within. This budget guided us in the specification process, enabling us to propose appropriate products which met their requirements, resulting in Waimakariri District Council being able to achieve everything they wished for within budget.

In March 2025, our delivery and installation team were on site for five days. During this time, they dismantled and disposed of the existing shelving, installed Intraspec steel shelving, a height adjustable service counter, modular seating, desking, tables and soft seating.   The completion of this fit out was successful and within the determined time frame.
