Scott Base Redevelopment
20 May 2021
The New Zealand Treasury have announced $344 million in funding for the Scott Base Redevelopment in Antarctica in the 2021 Budget, which means that the project is now in its delivery phase.
HBA designed the scheme with New Zealand-based architects Jasmax for Antarctica New Zealand. The buildings will be constructed off-site at a port in New Zealand by contractor Leighs Construction and shipped to Antarctica in large format modules. Other consultants working on the project include WSP (Civil and Structural Engineer), Steensen Varming (Services Engineer), The Building Intelligence Group (Design Manager) and Rawlinsons (Quantity Surveyor).
