The Home of Te Auaha – ‘The Creative’
The name Te Auaha – or ‘the creative’ celebrates the students that will attend the Institute. This innovative new facility will inspire and excite our next generation of creatives, attracting storytellers, inventors, communicators, artisans, artists and visionaries. The bringing together of these creators and innovators into one single space has inspired the name for the building – Te Kāhui Auaha – the cluster of creativity.
