The design for the Rainbow Corner Early Learning Centre was inspired by the name of the clients business – ‘Rainbow Corner’. Perfectly placed on the corner of State Highway 2 in Bethlehem, Tauranga, the centre presents a rainbow of coloured fins on each side.

Internally the classrooms allow for a range of age groups, with shared bathroom and service spaces, all connected directly to the outdoor playground through large sliding glass doors.

The centre is fully daylit and naturally ventilated to provide the optimum internal environment.
