Unitec: Mataaho Trades Building

Mataaho is a purpose-built, flexible teaching environment located at Unitec's Mt Albert campus, with a focus on construction and automotive trades. Teaching environments support both hands-on and research-based learning.

The development provides some 7000m² of workshop, simulation labs, support spaces and covered building courtyards. The workshop is arranged into zones defined by storage racking and circulation walkways. Limited enclosed spaces within the workshop support maximum flexibility, with spaces easily reconfigured by staff within 24 hours to suit daily teaching requirements.

The building is located across an escarpment, providing ground level entries at both the workshop and mezzanine levels, with a new link road to connect with the rest of the campus.
