SITE VISIT | AUCKLAND | CPD :3
Join us along with Hawkins and Livefirm at the University of Auckland Recreation and Wellness Center.
This site visit comes almost two years on from our last visit which took place at the stage when the steel frameworks and structure was being done. This time around the project is now nearing completion and we will be able to see how far the project has come. It will be interesting to all but particularly those who saw it in those early stages.
This is one of the most complex and challenging projects undertaken by the University to date. Constructed in the heart of the city campus, this new facility will have 22,000m2 of sports halls, fitness studios, yoga studios, weights room, cardio room, spin room, boxing, indoor cricket nets, boulder wall, rooftop tennis, rooftop football, 1.5km running track, indoor pool, spa and diving boards.
The University expects the centre will benefit the health and wellbeing of the University's 46,000 students and 6,000 staff for the next 50+ years and will result in improved academic performance and mental health, greater social engagement, and enhanced recruitment, retention and reputation.
