The original school buildings were built to the Education Department's S68 design: single-storey classroom blocks of cinderblock or masonry construction, with low-pitched roofs and internal open courtyards. The college was one of many that had problems with leaking roofs in the 1990s and 2000s due to the S68's roof design.[2] In 2014 the school opened a purpose-built teen parent unit.[3] The building won an award in the 'education' category at the 2015 New Zealand Institute of Architects Awards.[4] [5] In 2016 a new special needs unit was opened.[6]
