The brand-new Merivale Community Centre has officially opened its doors in Tauranga.
Founded in 1993, the centre has always been a cornerstone for the local community, offering support, connection and opportunity. When the old building was no longer fit for purpose, it was time for something new.
The new space includes a welcoming reception area, kitchen, multi-functional community hall, offices, private meeting rooms, youth music studio, and more including a vibrant outdoor area featuring a basketball court designed by local student.
Our team contributed to this project by enhancing accessibility, safety and durability across the site:
-Stainless Steel Tactile Studs with Carborundum Inserts help guide visitors safely through entrances and pathways, ensuring the centre is accessible for everyone, including those with low vision.
-Aluminium Stair Nosings with Striped Carb Inserts (DKR403) improve grip and visibility on stairs, reducing the risk of slips and trips.
-Skatestop Edge Skate Deterrents protect outdoor seating and edges from damage, helping the space stay welcoming and well-maintained for years to come.
