Mt Albert Grammar School – Nairn Block Upgrade

Located in the heart of Auckland, the Mt Albert Grammar School Nairn Block upgrade delivers a future-focused learning environment that respects the school’s rich heritage. Designed by ASC Architects, the new facility includes classrooms, a library, administrative areas, and a culturally significant Wharenui – all integrated within a live campus of over 2,700 students.

To reflect the solidity of traditional masonry while meeting modern performance and aesthetic goals, Rieder’s GRC concrete skin façade was specified in NS04 Vanilla with a Ferro surface. The Tile People, the New Zealand arm of DCA Façade, executed the façade installation with precision, including etched school branding for a distinctive architectural detail.

This refined, high-performing façade balances tradition and innovation – supporting cultural identity, educational growth, and long-term campus planning.
