Marlborough Girls’ College – Block C Demolition and Asbestos Removal

Marlborough Girls’ College – Block C Demolition and Asbestos Removal • Marlborough Girls’ College are undergoing a redevelopment with Block C to begin Stage 2 of the works. Stage 1 is due for completion in December 2026 which will enable decanting of Block C to begin. Block C will then be undergoing a refurbishment with the demolition and asbestos removal portion of works (this RFT) aiming to be undertaken during the 26/27 Christmas holiday period to minimise disruption. A separate tender for the refurbishment of the Block C works will be undertaken. • The partial demolition of the single storey on Block C and the asbestos identified throughout the building are to be removed during the Christmas 26/27 holiday period to minimise disruption to the school. The completion of the demolition and asbestos removal will enable the next phase of works to then begin. • Marlborough Girls’College is a single sex high school located in Blenheim. Previously proposed to be co-located with Marlborough Boys’College on the same site, this decision was reviewed in 2023/2024 and the decision was made to proceed with redevelopment of both colleges in-situ. Stage 1 of the works is now underway with the Library due for completion in December 2026 enabling Stage 2 to begin. • The attached documentation shows the extent of the single storey demolition of the existing toilet block and storage area required for demolition. Reports attached also include indicative asbestos identified with the requirement for invasive testing to be undertaken to confirm full extent of removal.
