Funding for Waitakere Library entranceway ceiling word art

 

File No.: CP2015/02941

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       To seek funding for installing ceiling word art for the library entranceways at Waitakere Library, Henderson as part of a range of initiatives to reduce the number of safety incidents at the library.

Executive Summary

2.       Waitakere Library, Henderson is currently looking at reducing the number of security incidents at the library. These measures include installing a camera covering the entrance foyer on the Great North Road side of the building and removing the public benches (by Council Property Services) near the entranceway on that side of the building. This measure will discourage groups congregating to smoke and/or otherwise create anti-social activities outside the library. The library is also investigating programmes which can be held outside the physical library walls – thereby creating environments that discourage the gathering of groups wanting to engage in undesirable activities.

3.       Waitakere Library, Henderson is also joining the local Henderson Business Association to engage further with the local business community – especially, in the possible provision of a meeting room and reference & information services - and partake in security services.

4.       The purpose of this ceiling artwork is to visually enhance the current library entranceways on both sides of the building i.e., Great North Road side and the Unitec side, in conjunction with other aspects such as altered seating arrangements, security measures and other artwork in the area.

5.       Currently, the entranceways to the library are not always apparent to customers.

6.       The ceiling word artwork incorporates a range of words and terms (including Te Reo) associated with modern library usage.

7.       The size of each of the ceiling word art images is 6 metres by 2 metres.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      Allocates funding of $1,334.00 for installing entranceway ceiling word art at Waitakere Library, Henderson.

 

Comments

8.       The current library entranceways are shown:

Library entranceway—Great North Road side of building

Library entranceway—Unitec side of building

 


 

9.       The proposed ceiling word artwork is as follows:

 

Proposed ceiling word artwork—Great North Road side of building

Proposed ceiling word artwork—Unitec side of building
