University of Auckland City Campus
20 Symonds Street corner 7 Grafton Rd, Auckland Central
The City Campus is where most of the University of Auckland undergraduate teaching takes place. It’s also home to some specialist labs and the new multi-disciplinary learning spaces (MDLS). The latter have been open since March 2017 and several undergraduate classes are taught in there.
This campus is also where our newest Engineering building, purpose-built for students, is situated. After years of investment into refurbishment, design and build, it now stands proudly on Grafton Road and is also accessible via the Symonds Street entrance. Opening in late 2019, the building provides tailor-made spaces to support learning, accommodate larger student cohorts, and encourage multi-disciplinary collaboration.
