St Andrew’s College Centennial Chapel Te Kāreti o Hāto Ānaru Te Kotahi Rau Tau o te Whare Karakia
This new chapel is built on the site of a much-loved predecessor damaged in the Christchurch earthquakes and its design and construction were attended by high expectations. These have been met and even exceeded in a fine and subtle work of architecture which respects the memory of the former chapel, and acknowledges both the character and the contemporary requirements of St Andrew’s College. The chapel is a building of many special moments; it is materially exquisite and spatially sophisticated, and establishes layers of connections: to the history of the College and its post-earthquake, recovery, and to the Christchurch neo-Gothic tradition.
