Octa was engaged to manage the project from concept through to occupation by Waitākere City Council (WCC) and Unitec. This multi-phased project included the relocation of the WCC historical archives, integration of all systems and centralising city wide professional staff into a single location.
The Waitākere Central Library and Unitec facilities project was broken into four parts, spread over a 6987sqm site:
