The University of Waikato opened in February 2019 and is one of leading the developments in the Tauranga CBD.
Architects from Jasmax designed the campus with two buildings adjoined by a central atrium. It features collaborative areas, customisable teaching spaces, a 200-seat lecture theatre, multi-function space, 24-hour computer lab, cafe, commercial kitchen and noho centre with sleeping facilities. Hawkins Construction started on the campus in June, 2017.
