Blessing

Last Tuesday morning about 200 people gathered at 5.30am to bless our new archives building.  It was dark and it was very cold but by Wellington standards it was perfect, no rain despite the forecast and no wind at all. 

Staff start moving in next week, including me!  We’ve had our orientation tours which included a trip to the basement. They showed us the bike storage, drying room etc, etc but I was much more interested in getting an up close look at one of the base isolators. 

36 of these make it one of the most seismically resilient buildings in the country.
