2015 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
MIT Manukau & Transport Interchange
This handsome building of substance and gravitas is surely capable of delivering two transformations: first, as directed by MIT, to the educational aspirations of its surrounding low-income community and, second, to the urban fabric of the unlovely Manukau city-centre quarter. With a scale and build quality generally confined to Auckland CBD, this bold structure employs quality materials and furnishings to create a first-rate tertiary learning environment. Its lofty six- storey atrium creates an exciting, inspiring environment for all visitors, be they straight off the eastern-line trains that pull in below or destined for a business studies course and a bright future.
