School service

Canterbury Education Services

Modern, warm and inviting, the colour scheme underpins the professionalism and completeness of the CES offering.

When schools need assistance with financial and board services, supplies, accurate assessment of School assets and training seminars they turn to the school owned society Canterbury Education Services (CES), based in Nazareth Avenue, Christchurch. In turn, when CES needs assistance with corporate decoration and building brand identity, they turn to Resene. Chris Bunn, designer, and SCB Ltd, building contractor, complete the circle of quality and reliability that embraces the project.

Built of tilt slab construction sited in a neighbourhood of commercial and industrial buildings, CES have used colour as a landmark, a branding device, a differentiator. Extensively coated in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen acrylic enamel both inside and out, hues of Resene Burnt Crimson (burnt red) and Resene Arrowtown (earthy neutral) combine for an eyecatching exterior, making way to a predominantly softer interior palette of Resene Spanish White (complex neutral) on main wall areas complemented by features of Resene Smalt Blue (softened blue), Resene Lusty (rich orange red), Resene Double Putty (burnt ochre) and Resene Malachite Green (mid tone green).

Modern, warm and inviting, the colour scheme underpins the professionalism and completeness of the CES offering. With CES built by focusing on the needs of the clients, for once CES has been able to sit back and enjoy focused attention from the client side of the desk.
