The University of Waikato Haumaru Sport & Recreation Centre - Bay Venues Ltd

Stadium Seating 

Alloyfold provided strategic furniture solutions for the University of Waikato Haumaru Sport & Recreation Centre, a $28 million facility transformation in Tauranga that opened in May 2025. 

Working with Bay Venues Ltd on behalf of Tauranga City Council, Alloyfold equipped the converted former Warehouse building with 500 Cube Chairs (400 white, 100 black), 33 XL180 banquet tables in Shark Grey, 6 Church Chair Trolleys and 2 XL Table Trolleys to support the venue's 1,500-person capacity and four basketball-sized courts.

The facility now hosts diverse programming from major tournaments like the AIMS Games and Foot Locker U20 basketball nationals to community activities including basketball, netball, volleyball, pickleball, badminton, and Tumble Time sessions for preschoolers. 

The Cube Chairs' 100% virgin polypropylene construction delivers exceptional durability with 150kg load capacity and 5-year commercial warranty, while their lightweight 2.8kg design and 18-high stacking capability enable rapid reconfiguration between events. 

The dual-color scheme allows for team identification and section management during competitions, while the blow-molded XL180 tables provide professional-grade performance with 300kg load capacity and 10-year commercial warranty for everything from tournament administration to University of Waikato student activities. 

The chair trolleys and table trolleys ensure seamless transitions and operational efficiency, creating a comprehensive furniture package that has enabled Haumaru to successfully serve Tauranga's growing community as a hub for sport, learning and connection, demonstrating how thoughtful product selection can transform a multi-use facility to serve everyone from preschoolers to elite athletes with excellence and reliability.
