GHD Woodhead Creative Spaces and New Plymouth-based firm Boon has been awarded the contract to design the new east stand for Yarrow Stadium.
The architects will be supported by Beca (structural and civil engineering), Aurecon (mechanical and electrical services) and Holmes (fire services). Additional service contracts will be confirmed soon.
The design and build of the new stand is the largest single component of the project's total $50 million budget, says Taranaki Regional Council chairman David MacLeod.
"Getting the design of the new stand under way is a big milestone and having a strong team on board is critical to the successful delivery of the project.
"Between them, these organisations have worked on projects like North Harbour Stadium, Mt Smart Stadium and Rotorua Energy Centre. We're excited to have this wealth of experience and expertise working on the design of our new stand."
