Overview

The Massey Refectory building was constructed in 1930 for the newly established Massey Agricultural College in Palmerston North. The building was designed in a simple Spanish Mission style by renowned architect Roy Alstan Lippincot. The Refectory was then closed in 2013 due to seismic issues. Semtex was involved in non-intrusive seismic strengthening to restore the refectory hall and common room back to their original state.
