Stiles and Hooker's relationship with The Hamilton Boys' High School Board of Trustees has developed over the past 9 years with a number of successful completed projects which exceed the Schools expectations.

NEW GYMNASIUM AND FITNESS CENTRE
A prominent site and the Client's requirement for a contemporary building that still visually connects to the Schools existing built form were important factors when considering this new gymnasium.

This project will substantially increase the schools existing gymnasium facilities by providing a new gym, changing room facilities, staff offices, fitness/weights centre and integrating the schools existing two small gyms as part of the finished building.

Contract value $6.1 million. The building is currently under construction and due for completion December 2009.

FRANK SARGESON CENTRE
While originally intended to be an "international" block to accommodate the needs of foreign students, the Frank Sargeson Centre brief was revised and extended to include the development and future expansion needs of the Hamilton Boys' High School English Language Department.

Stiles and Hooker's goal was to take an otherwise fairly conservative building and add interest and give it a dimension of character to create a less static architecture and communicate "difference" in a positive light.

SPORTS PAVILION
The Hamilton Boys' High School Sports Pavilion is an extension to existing changing rooms which were located adjacent to the sports playing fields. The original building was damaged by fire. The design accommodated of additional ground floor changing rooms with the upper floor encompassing a function room with cantilevered deck for viewing sporting activities, kitchen, academy learning room, community sports room and additional toilet facilities. The building was to reference with existing style of the surrounding school but without adhering to the form.

TECHNOLOGY BLOCK
The Technology Centre Development was generated from a change in teaching strategies for the technical curriculum from Engineering and Woodwork based trade and technical drawing, to embrace the move toward Design and Technology with materials research and development. The building was completed in 2002.
