When it opened in July 2023, The Pā was the largest capital project in the The University of Waikato’s 60-year history. This mass timber multipurpose building includes a wharenui, or meeting house, that brings together students, staff and the community. Home to the Faculty of Māori and Indigenous Studies and the Office of the Vice-Chancellor, The Pā is a hub for social interaction, functionality and cultural connection. Located at the University’s Hillcrest campus in Hamilton, The Pā took home the Colliers Project Leaders Education Property Award at the 2024 Property Council New Zealand Rider Levett Bucknall RLB Property Industry Awards. One of 18 nominees in the category, and among 141 entries nationwide, The Pā was hailed by the judges as a “standout example of a building deeply rooted in local culture and designed to bring the community together”.
