Civic, Christchurch, Government building in central Christchurch, New Zealand.
The Christchurch Civic Building features a double-height internal space with a glass curtain wall on the northern facade and copper-clad council chambers.
The structure evolved from a 1981 New Zealand Post building into civic offices through a joint venture between Ngai Tahu Property and Christchurch City Council in 2010.
The building incorporates Maori artwork, including Te Pou Herenga Waka carved by Fayne Robinson and Julia Morison's Knot installation at the entrance bridge.
The seven-story structure accommodates 1,200 staff members and contains meeting rooms, committee spaces, public service counters, and a pedestrian connection through the block.
The building operates with a tri-generation system powered by biogas, generating heating, cooling, and electricity while maintaining carbon-neutral operations.
