Talk with Engineer - Lloyd Ellis
Need to go down roughly 17m to hit bedrock in Christchurch
Piles down 17m from ground, spaced 5m apart
Structure under the old building (ie. the new bits) will most probably be concrete
Existing masonry will require reinforcing with a steel frame on the outside - steel will go down into a large concrete footing to stabilise. Then the new building (ground floor down) will be placed inside this.
Either put steel frame on the inside around the whole existing OR steel frame for auditorium and tie the existing back to this to stabilise
Circular auditorium space could be poured concrete with layers or GRC - can be coloured (either)
