Auckland Council invites proposals for the provision of Design Services for the Pioneer Women's and Ellen Melville Hall and Freyberg Square upgrade project. The Pioneer Women's and Ellen Melville Hall and Freyberg Square sit in the heart of Auckland's city centre in the bustling High Street precinct. The Pioneer Women's and Ellen Melville Hall is situated adjacent to Freyberg square, bounded by High Street to the west and by the junction of Courthouse Lane / Chancery Lane and O'Connell Street on its eastern boundary. The Metropolis building is located to the south.The Hall was built in 1962 by Auckland City Council and is the lone community hall within the parameters of the Auckland City Centre. The integration and connection between the two proposed developments, Pioneer Women's and Ellen Melville Hall upgrade ($3 million) and the redesign of Freyberg Square ($4 million) is hugely important. The design phase is to be procured as a single contract which takes into account the need for a specialised multidisciplinary design team to produce a design concept (for Pioneer Women's and Ellen Melville Hall), and developed design, detailed design and construction drawings and documents for both developments.
