Te Matapihi/Wellington Central Library Tour

Te Matapihi/Wellington Central Library Tour with WCC and Athfield Architects

RICS invites members to a site visit of Te Matapihi ki te ao nui, Wellington’s soon-to-be-completed Central Library. Delivered in partnership with Athfield Architects, LT McGuinness, and Wellington City Council, (with Aurecon, Tihei, Fire HQ, Rider Levett Bucknall & RCP), this event offers a look at the revitalised civic space following completion of the main contract works (public opening scheduled for early 2026, following soft fit out).

The project includes extensive seismic strengthening—base isolators, new foundations, and structural upgrades, making Te Matapihi one of the most resilient public buildings in the city. It also targets a 5-star Green Building rating and will house the Library, Capital E/Experience Wellington, Council Archives, and Council Service Centre, in a single integrated facility.

PPE Required: Hard hat, Hi-Vis and steel toe cap boots.
