The Pā – University of Waikato

Hamilton

WINNER – Te Kāhui Whaihanga NZIA Waikato & Bay of Plenty Architecture Award – Education 2024

“The Pā brings together four key projects under one roof structure; the wharenui to the east, a wing for the University executive leadership team to the south, a central student hub, and the Faculty of Māori and Indigenous Studies Building within a refurbished 1960s space on the western edge.” An incredible and thoughtful space, The Pā is an innovative and versatile facility designed to transform the on-campus experience for the University and its community. The use of the warm hues of equitone created a space of earthiness and natural beauty.
