Campuses and Facilities
AUT has four campuses: Wellesley (Auckland CBD), Manukau, North Shore and Millennium. Wellesley and North Shore campuses both offer neighbouring student accommodation (498 rooms and 207 rooms, respectively). AUT runs a shuttle bus between campuses.
Since becoming a university, AUT has invested heavily in infrastructure, staffing and programmes. It is halfway through its $245 million building programme on both the Wellesley and Akoranga campuses. Since 2000, new engineering, design, library, and business buildings have been constructed.
Recently, work has begun on the new WG precinct at Wellesley campus, which will host AUT's communication studies school. The facility will provide 20,000 square metres of additional learning space, including television and performance studios, lecture theatres, shops, cafes, an outdoor plaza, and informal study and collaboration spaces. This $97 million ($NZ) project is due to be opened to students by Semester 1, 2013.
