Hiwa – The University of Auckland Recreation Centre

B&A led planning and engagement on the award-winning redevelopment of the University of Auckland’s Recreation Centre. The 26,000m² facility is spread over six levels and includes exercise and sports facilities at the heart of the University of Auckland city campus, spanning a full city block between Symonds and Princes Streets.

Facilities include an aquatic hall with dive tank and an eight-lane, 33-metre pool, gym and workout facilities, a running track, climbing wall and the southern hemisphere’s first glass sports floor. The project also included the demolition of existing buildings and the creation of new outdoor open spaces for campus users.
