Many New Students' Orientation sessions take place on our Kelburn campus.

Key locations

  • The Hub is a large gathering area in the centre of the campus, and a good place to start.
  • The Library is in Rankine Brown (RB) building, and forms one side of the Hub.
  • Easterfield (EA) building is the Kelburn Parade side of the Hub.
  • Te Herenga Waka Marae is on the opposite side of Kelburn Parade from the Hub.
  • The Student Union (SU) building is on the opposite side of the Tim Beaglehole Courtyard from the Hub. You'll find the Hunter Lounge (campus bar) there, rather than in Hunter building.
  • The Bubble is a Rainbow and wellbeing space in the Student Union building.
  • The Recreation Centre is behind Cotton building.
  • The Hunter Courtyard is flanked by Hunter and Kirk buildings and Kelburn Parade.

Lecture theatres and rooms

  • Maclaurin (MC) building is up the steps from the Hub.
  • Te Toki a Rata (TTR) building is past Maclaurin.
  • Alan MacDiarmid (AM) building can be reached through the Cotton building.
  • Kirk (KK) building can be reached from the Hub through a walkway on the Easterfield building side.
  • Hugh Mackenzie (HM) and Murphy (MY) buildings are on the other side of Kelburn Parade from the Hub.

All locations

This short guide to the University's three main Wellington campuses—Kelburn, Pipitea, and Te Aro—is a good place to start, and you can look at our campuses and facilities section. If you have a room code that you need to translate into a building location, use the list of buidling codes on the locate a room page.

You can also explore our campuses with a range of guided tours during Orientation week.
