Upper Hutt City Library
Upper Hutt City Library Makeover
Int.workspaces was privileged to be invited to work with the Library Management Team on redesigning the layout of the Upper Hutt City Library. Purpose of the project was to improve safety and visibility of the children’s and teen’s areas, create a more flexible community space for programmes and events, increase availability for PC users and enhance quiet areas.
Int.workspaces was able to provide a solution that incorporated both existing and new shelving and furniture, and with a massive team effort the Library was able to be reopened within one week, minimising disruption to the public.
Scope of work included: Concept Design, Interior Design, Shelving and Furniture Fit out, Bespoke Joinery, and Fit Out Solutions, Acoustic Wall Linings & Relocation of existing Shelving.

Completed Project
Working with egress restrictions, as well as learnings from the previous layout changes Int Workspaces have achieved a welcoming and user friendly shelving layout for us, which has made the most of what natural light we have as well as the different spaces we had available. Our customers love the openness and the improved navigation that has been provided in the new layout. In addition to layout designs we have used Int Workspaces to design and build furniture and fittings including our exterior returns bin which offers a secure 24 hours returns facility in the carpark at the rear of the Library.
