When Partridge Construction started work on modernising the Mt Maunganui College science block, it was the first time the building had been renovated in thirty years.  Partridge were able to accommodate numerous changes to the project, originally won by tender, and completed the project during the Christmas holidays so it did not interrupt normal school activity.  Key aspects of the project were:

• The rooms were made more workable and improved to meet new Safety Regulations for the storage of chemicals.
• Interior finishings, services and laboratories were modernised.
• New cladding facades were added to the exterior.
• Windows & doors were replaced.
• The building was re-roofed.
