APPROACH
+ Situated on the current Cromwell site the architecture of the ambulance station is sympathetic to the surrounding urban neighbourhood while creating a landmark for the Cromwell community. Through the design process we have been conscious to reflect the region, using materials and vegetation that evoke both the natural and cultural landscape of the area.
+ The design takes forward key performance elements from the Christchurch Make Ready Hub system, leveraging off the much improved service and safety aspects it has proven to provide.
+ It is designed to meet the future needs of the Cromwell region, with innovative best practice solutions to ensure the health and safety of St John staff.
It Will Provide…
+ Support to the future growth of the Central Otago region and contribute public meeting and a training space for the wider community.
+ Future flexibility to embrace new and emerging technology, for eg. EV’s
+ A high quality working environment that will enhance productivity and well being with facilities such as outdoor areas for use by the operations team.
