The former Arts Building, now known as the Clocktower stands as a distinctive and beloved Auckland landmark. Since its design and construction in 1923 by Roy Alstan Lippincott and his partner Edward Billson, the Clocktower has remained the heart of the university campus. Salmond Reed was tasked with designing a new accessible entrance.
Salmond Reed Architects has been involved with St Paul’s for over 20 years having completed the Conservation Plan in 1998 and Condition Report in 2006. More recently we are working closely with the church overseeing the formation of a 20-year Masterplan, which will see the building seismically strengthened, appropriately repaired and restored, modernised and all being well finally completed. The project has been staged to allow for manageable areas of work to be completed in a strategic way, starting with urgent repairs to the tower, porches and west front, which were completed in 2020. Salmond Reed Architects played a major role in the detailed design, project management and contract administration of this important project.
