What the Judges Said
Rising out of the landscape on the outskirts of Cambridge, Profile Group’s Hautapu Manufacturing Facility is the first stage of the new APL campus that will consolidate multiple Hamilton sites to one fully-self-serviced location. The flagship sculpture is strikingly simple. The commitment to deliver on APL’s pledge to sustainability is evident from the design stage through to construction and ongoing operation. The project team has worked together to influence every part of the supply chain and think differently for the benefit of the environment, community, employees and future economic benefit. This development is part of a long-term strategy to accommodate business growth and set a benchmark for sustainable development in Aotearoa, while focussing on supporting delivery of an industry-leading approach to employee health and wellbeing.
