To make it easier to find out about what you are interested in at Open Day, we have 7 zones set up on campus.
Each zone focuses on a particular group of subjects and fields of study.
THE PĀ LOOKING FOR
SOMETHING?
Head to the Information Tent on the Village Green or ask anyone wearing an Open Day red t-shirt.
open day zones
An innovative and versatile new facility that will be the year-round home of campus life, and will include areas dedicated to students, retail spaces, food outlets and a stage for performances and events.
‘The Pā’ is a reference to the concept of community and location, and will be the heart of the campus.
Construction is due for completion later in 2023.
