ANZ Centre Refurbishment

The refurbishment of the ANZ Centre, originally built in 1991, represents significant investment in both workplace and public realm design by both AMP NZ Office Trust and ANZ Bank.

As specified by architects Warren and Mahoney, Colt Products & Systems supplied and installed SM5 Smoke curtains to 23 floors of the recently refurbished ANZ building in Auckland. Smoke curtains allow architects to maintain the open atrium of the stair egress and still meet the requirements for adequate smoke control.

The Colt SM5 smoke curtain is gravity failsafe, activated by the fire signal, and is deployed under a controlled rate of descent, the SM5 Smoke Curtain is also certified to EN12101-1. The Colt SM5 smoke curtain was specified for this ANZ refurbishment for its architecturally pleasing ’comfort fit’ bottom bar and dedicated corner units for reducing gaps. This mitred box is not available anywhere else.
