The Pā, the landmark new building at the heart of the University of Waikato’s Hamilton campus, was opened on Monday by Kīngi Tūheitia. It is the most significant capital development in the University’s 59-year history.
University of Waikato Vice-Chancellor, Professor Neil Quigley, says The Pā reinforces the University’s distinctiveness being unique in concept, functionality and architectural design: there is nothing else like it nationally or internationally.
‘The Pā’ is a reference to the integrated and connected facilities within the complex that are designed with the campus community in mind.
“It is a symbol of the aspirations of the University that honours our history and our commitment to a campus experience that delivers functionality, social interaction, hospitality and culture,” says Professor Quigley.
