This purpose-built facility is a world class training centre for one of New Zealand’s major industries, travel and tourism. Located in the Auckland Airport Business District, the $3.6M Centre is a landmark building designed by The Buchan Group to house a Boeing 737 fuselage used for training purposes. Extensive glazing showcases the plane to the street and is popular with travellers and locals alike.
Inside, all rooms open onto the main aircraft training module zone, reinforcing the link to the industry for which the building was designed. Natural lighting is provided to all training rooms and affords views over expansive fields to the east. The use of timber for the balustrade and staircases gives warmth to the interior and contrasts with the polished concrete floor, textured concrete walls and exposed steel.
