Haere-roa

Welcome to Haere-roa

Opened in July 2019, Haere-roa's the hub of UC students and the UCSA.

The purpose-built space includes student welfare and advocacy spaces, an outdoor amphitheatre overlooking the Avon River, as well as facilities for clubs, hospitality, meetings and events.

A key feature of Haere-roa is the iconic Ngaio Marsh Theatre, re-imagined for future generations. As well as being used for events, it's a space where UCSA's 160 clubs and societies can get creative.
