Gym bunnies

Bethlehem College

Amidst the traditional architecture and classic lemon and cream hues of Bethlehem College, Tauranga, the newly built gymnasium is difficult to miss.

The exterior paint system of Resene Lumbersider satin acrylic and Resene Sandtex Mediterranean style texture tinted to Resene Tamarillo (berry red) makes a bold textured statement against the neutral backdrop.

.

In a departure from the usual varnished surfaces, the interior is dominated by a Resene Lumbersider paint system in soft blue Resene Hoki and highlights of Resene Tamarillo. The use of the Environmental Choice approved Resene Lumbersider in place of traditional solventbased finishes high in volatile organic compounds (VOC's) is not only an environmentally preferable paint system, but the reduction in solvents and associated odours has enabled staff and students to start utilising this new facility earlier.
