Project profile
The Sir Howard Morrison Performing Arts Centre began its life as Rotorua’s Municipal Building in 1938, on land gifted by Ngāti Whakaue. Heritage listed in 1994 and deemed earthquake prone in 2017, its refurbishment reflects Rotorua’s identity while being sympathetic to the building heritage, Ngāti Whakaue and Sir Howard Morrison’s legacy.
The brief demanded a truly aspirational venue, with the design response requiring a paradigm shift in thinking to meet the building’s potential as a benchmark performing arts centre.
