Judges’ comments
This building occupies a steep and complex site surrounded by multi-storey buildings at various levels. They all knit together in a way that celebrates their diversity, but combine to create a magnificent focal point for the AUT campus. The Building consists of 20,000 metres of new facilities including a 12 storey tower block, Plaza, glass atrium and a green Quad. Special facilities include for AUT’s School of Communication Studies, incorporating a TV studio, motion capture, performance studio, radio station, media centres and sound edit suites.
The high standard of finish gives no hint of the many design and constructional challenges that were overcome along the way. This building completes AUT’s precinct by linking to the Faculty of Business and Law building and The Hospitality Building. Visionary design and functionality have produced a fitting addition to the Auckland University.
