The Whitcoulls Queen St Building is an historic building in the centre of the Auckland CBD. This unreinforced masonry building undertook a major redevelopment including seismic evaluation and strengthening.

Work included dynamic seismic analyses of the building, modelling the existing unreinforced masonry structure and added reinforced concrete, structural steel, and FRP elements.
