Hiwa - The University of Auckland Recreation Centre / Warren and Mahoney

The University of Auckland operates as an urban campus embedded in the city of 1.8 million people. The landscape includes dramatic topography with rainforest and 53 inactive volcanic centres forming the Auckland volcanic field. The project includes a dense student precinct and a sloping site. These conditions create challenges for accessibility, interconnection, and serviceability. The campus setting requires solutions that respond to the terrain while supporting movement between areas and the delivery of services across the site.
