Our Campuses

The purpose-built engineering building provides students with tailor-made spaces to support learning, accommodate larger student cohorts, and encourage multi-disciplinary collaboration. Another major building was completed at the end of 2019 at Grafton for the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, together with several new student halls of residence. The University now provides accommodation for more than 4,500 undergraduate and postgraduate students in catered and self-catered residential communities.

Opened in 2024 is the sustainability and architectural award winning 6 Green Star building, home to the Faculty of Arts and Education | Te Pūtahi Mātauranga (B201, 10 Symonds Street). Designed with the teaching and learning needs of the range of occupant faculties in mind, the nine storey building includes a new soaring glass atrium, capped by a vaulted timber roof and solar photovoltaic panels. Among many other notable features, B201 boasts dance and drama studios, a brand new, flexible lecture theatre, archaeology wet labs and, with teacher education in mind, specialist areas for cooking, timber work, craft, painting and music.

An adaptive reuse of the heritage-listed Old Choral Hall is underway. The existing building, amongst the oldest on the campus, has been modified since it was originally constructed, and the original spaces have been converted to other uses. It will provide accommodation for Education and Social (formerly on the Epsom Campus). This included the reopening of Tūtahi Tonu, tuākana of Waipapa Marae and originally from the Epsom Campus in August 2024. The whakairo (carvings) of the wharenui were delicately refurbished by master carver Katz Maihi (Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Ngāpuhi) and placed in their new home. The whakairo reflect the diverse cultures who study at the University, and create a welcoming space for learning.
