A morning karakia held in Tauranga city earlier this week marks the beginning of safe and affordable accommodation for tertiary students in the Bay of Plenty.
The new $20 million purpose-built facility on Selwyn Street, located across the road from the University of Waikato campus, will officially open in 2022.
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Alister Jones says having university-managed accommodation in the Tauranga CBD also brings Tauranga another step closer to being a “genuine university city”.
