The Waikato Regional Theatre is a landmark cultural development in Hamilton, integrating new and heritage structures to create a world-class 1,300-seat lyric theatre. 

Changes due to Resource Consent requirements and cost escalations led to the introduction of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) as a cost-effective and efficient structural material. 

CLT was used for blade walls, the auditorium roof, and seating bleachers, offering construction speed, cost savings, and sustainability benefits.
