The University recognizes the key role that sport, and recreation play in the well-being and success of students and staff. We’re committed to maximizing the opportunities for students and staff to play sport, keep fit, and have fun while studying

The old Recreation Centre located on Symonds St was built in 1978 when the University had 10,000 students studying on campus. Today the University has approximately 46,000 students and more than 5,000 staff. The old facility was at capacity and was no longer able to maximize sport, recreation, and well-being opportunities for the University community.
