Accessible venues and car parking for visitors

The University has a range of accessible venues with mobility friendly car parks – spaces that are larger and nearer to access ways.

Sir Owen G Glenn building on 12 Grafton Road is mobility and wheelchair accessible and has accessible toilets.

Mobility parking spaces are available within the building car park on 16 Grafton Rd. A CCS mobility car parking permit is required to park in these spaces. Casual parking costs $5 an hour.

Fale Pasifika on 20 Wynyard Street is accessible via an access ramp at the rear of the building. It has accessible toilets nearby in the Centre for Pacific Studies building.

Mobility parking is available in the Sir Owen G Glenn building.

Located at 24 Princes Street, Old Government House (OGH) is a heritage building. Certain areas of OGH on the ground floor are wheelchair accessible. The Vice Chancellor’s suite and Buttery bar, also on the ground floor, are not accessible due to several steps. There is no elevator in the building, and as a result, the first floor is not accessible. 

OGH does not have accessible toilets.

Mobility parking is available at the main gate car park at 5 Symonds Street. This is an uncovered car park, accessed via a barrier arm next to the Old Choral Hall building.

The ClockTower at 22 Princes Street is mobility and wheelchair accessible via a wheelchair lift near the front door. There is one public elevator in the building.

Accessible toilets are on the basement level only.

Mobility parking is available at the main gate car park at 5 Symonds St.

Mobility parking is available at the Sir Owen G Glenn building or 5 Symonds Street where parking costs $5 per hour.

The Gus Fisher Gallery at 74 Shortland Street is not accessible from the front entrance steps. However, it is accessible with assistance, from a side entrance followed by an elevator to the gallery.

The gallery has an accessible toilet though assistance to open heavy doors may be required.

One uncovered mobility parking space is available at 74 Shortland Street.

Some parts of Waipapa Marae are accessible.

• The Wharenui (the carved house) is accessible for wheelchair users from the front.
