The Sir Paul Reeves Building

SPR stairs small WG Video Wall small WG Social Space small WG AUT Wall small

Designed to reflect what students around the world want from their learning spaces, the Sir Paul Reeves Building and the areas within it are flexible, contemporary and invite collaboration. It reflects AUT’s position as ‘The University for the Changing World,’ and features one of the most contemporary media teaching and learning spaces in this hemisphere.

With its impressive 12-storey tower and glass-roofed atrium, the Sir Paul Reeves Building is right at the heart of our city campus, connecting the surrounding buildings, including the Business School, by way of Governor Fitzroy Plaza. This building is rich with student-centred learning and social spaces and houses the most advanced communications school in the country.

SIR PAUL REEVES

The building is named after the late Sir Paul Reeves* who had a long association with AUT University, first as a professor, then from 2005 as Chancellor. He was instrumental to the direction, spirit and prestige of the University, shaping our vision as a modern tertiary institution.

* The Right Reverend and The Honourable Sir Paul Alfred Reeves ONZ, GCMG, GCVO, QSO, KStJ (Te Åti Awa)
