The Sargood Centre is the common name for the former Exhibition Art Gallery, located at 40 Logan Park Drive in Dunedin, Otago.
The building was designed by Edmund Anscombe as the art gallery for the 1925 New Zealand and South Seas International Exhibition.
This was avoided and the subsequent refurbishment plans, by conservation architect Jackie Gillies, involved removal of partitions, recreation of the original portico, and strengthening of the main gallery.
[1] The gallery was lit through skylights with reflective baffles, which directed light onto the walls below and left the central spaces comparatively dark.
[3] The art collection has previously been housed on Cumberland Street but the premises were too small, noisy and dirty, and the roof leaked.
