Press Lane was established on the east side of Tūranga Central Library to better connect Worcester and Gloucester Streets.
The laneway helps pedestrians navigate this part of the central city, and revitalises the area whilst the surrounding properties are developed.
Landscaping was designed by Lincoln University Student, Johanna Blakely, and installed in partnership with The Green Lab (former Greening the Rubble).
Ara Fine Arts student Grace Duval painted artworks in the laneway with input from staff at The Press, which has a long history at the site.
A mural reflects local history including a previous laundry service, surgeon, and Māori use of the area, and the laneway surface is decorated with the Press’ motto "Nihil utile quod non-honestum" which translates to "Nothing is useful that is not honest."
The letters reflect the typeset from The Press’ founding year, 1861.
Transitional artwork ‘The Grove of Intention’ was painted by Rosie Mac and Kerry Lee on a bordering wall. The artwork formed part of a global series of tree artworks that ask questions to encourage inner reflection. 
‘No Place Like Home’ was designed and created by artist Flox to decorate Plymouth Lane; a key pedestrian route from Lichfield Street through to Cashel Street that was surrounded by significant construction. 
Solar light art columns aid pedestrian safety and wayfinding around Cathedral Square, and during the day their bright colours add to vibrancy. 
Traffic barriers were reimagined with the installation of colourful urban sheep.
