Two of Victoria University’s building projects have received prestigious awards from the New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA).
Te Toki a Rata and the Rutherford House extension have each won an NZIA annual Local Architecture Award in the Education category. The awards honour the best new architecture in each of the NZIA's eight regional branches.
The New Zealand Institute of Architecture runs the annual awards to recognise and promote excellence in architecture.
“We are proud that these two major campus redevelopments have been recognised for their excellence in architecture,” said Stephen Costley, Victoria’s Director Property Services. “Both projects reflect the close and positive relationship that the Victoria Campus Development team had with the architects – Warren and Mahoney Architects and Athfield Architects Limited. Together we have created spaces which contribute to a first-class student experience and to being a globally ranked capital city University.”

The Faculty of Graduate Research oversees all doctoral degrees and works to ensure that the students’ experience as thesis students is a positive one.
This is the newest faculty at Victoria, established in January 2017, and brings together researchers and teachers from across the University to help prepare the next generation of health sector professionals to make a difference to New Zealanders’ health and wellbeing.
The Faculty’s diverse range of courses and location in the nation’s capital and cultural heart will provide students with unrivalled opportunities to build their future.
