EMA Carpark
The EMA (Employment Manufacturers Association) engaged Location Group and Avery Team Architects to undertake the expansion of the Auckland based EMA Employment Hub, and construction of a new carpark.
The five-story carpark building is comprised of SPEEDFLOOR® Suspended Concrete Flooring and features 82 carparks. The carpark was granted resource consent to construct an additional two-levels. The additional floors can easily be added by using the Suspended Concrete Flooring with minimal disruption.
