The new 8,300m2 Studio Building within the AUT campus provides extensive studio and workshop space for the School of Art & Design in conjunction with Office and courtyard areas

It contains specialist facilities including a 700m2 workshop and extensive Studio and Gallery spaces. It also included the full two floor fit out of the fashion workshops including the relocation of all sewing and knitting equipment.
