Region’s rebuild rumbles on<br />
PLANS FOR a $15 million<br />
central city art museum, a<br />
hospitality outlet in Lyttelton<br />
and a new name for the<br />
Convention Centre were all<br />
revealed yesterday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ravenscar Trust and<br />
Canterbury Museum released<br />
the final design of the delayed<br />
Ravenscar House, which will<br />
start being built on Rolleston<br />
Ave in October.<br />
Built using earthquake<br />
rubble from Jim and Susan<br />
Wakefield’s original Ravenscar<br />
House in Scarborough and the<br />
Arts Centre, it will be gifted<br />
to Canterbury Museum when<br />
complete in 2020.<br />
Meanwhile, Lyttelton<br />
Port Company has received<br />
strong interest to tenant Te<br />
Ana Marina’s Woolstore<br />
development.<br />
Knight Frank’s Craig Edwards<br />
said the renovated building<br />
would become a hospitality hub,<br />
possibly for a brewery, the seafood<br />
industry and a restaurant.<br />
<strong>The</strong> $475 million Convention<br />
Centre will be called Te Pae,<br />
which means gathering space.<br />
Otakaro spent $30,000<br />
developing the name, back story,<br />
logo, and design work for the<br />
brand. It will open in 2020.<br />
EXCITING: <strong>The</strong><br />
Woolstore next<br />
to Lyttelton’s<br />
Te Ana Marina<br />
is being<br />
renovated and<br />
could become<br />
a hospitality<br />
hub.<br />
NEW:<br />
Construction on<br />
Ravenscar House<br />
will begin in<br />
October.<br />
PROGRESS:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Convention<br />
Centre will be<br />
known as Te Pae.<br />

Earthquake<br />
survivor<br />
earns award<br />
EARTHQUAKE survivor Ann<br />
Brower has won a prestigious award<br />
for her work on building reform.<br />
Dr Brower’s life was changed by<br />
the February 22. 2011, earthquake.<br />
She was the only survivor of 13<br />
people in a bus crushed by falling<br />
masonry from the un-reinforced<br />
parapet and facade<br />
of a Colombo St<br />
building.<br />
Dr Brower was<br />
awarded the Gama<br />
Foundation’s Critic<br />
and Conscience<br />
of Society Award,<br />
which comes with a<br />
$50,000 cheque for<br />
Ann Brower<br />
her work on reforming the country’s<br />
Building Act after the quake.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ‘Brower Amendment’ was<br />
made to the Building Act last year.<br />
Cabinet shortened the time frame<br />
for reinforcing masonry in an<br />
aftershock zone from 15 years to 12<br />
months<br />
Dr Brower’s experience also led<br />
her to launch the Little Guy’s Guide<br />
to Making a Difference for scientists<br />
and engineers to raise issues in their<br />
fields.<br />
She will give a public lecture at<br />
Canterbury University today from<br />
7pm.<br />
