Upper Hutt College, Upper Hutt, Wellington. Decile 7

This secondary library is characterised by a recent (2006) extension to the original Nelson library design. It includes large bay windows that capture natural light and reveal a backdrop of playing fields and Western Hutt hills – a point that further reinforces the library's sense of place within the school environment.

Another standout feature is the library's extensive workroom featuring innovative shelving and storage.
