You will be hosted on the day by representatives from Auckland University of Technology, Jasmax, and Naylor Love. The event will highlight the innovative use of mass timber and adaptive reuse.

Key dates and times:

• Tuesday 11 February
• 5.00 pm - 7.30 pm
• Tukutuku, AUT - Akoranga Drive, Northcote, Auckland

Tukutuku is AUT’s most energy-efficient and lowest-carbon development to date. The new four-story learning facility creates a vibrant social and academic hub, featuring a striking atrium that seamlessly connects to the refurbished AF building. With a design focus on connectivity, sustainability, and wellbeing, Tukutuku sets a new standard for future-ready, sustainable development.

“Tukutuku is designed to enhance student success by providing an integrated hub that brings together essential services, study and social spaces, a café, library, and academic staff offices, all adjacent to a variety of learning environments. More than just a lecture venue, Tukutuku fosters a connected and dynamic learning ecosystem”.

The building reinforces client leadership. Jasmax says, “As Aotearoa New Zealand’s most energy-efficient university, AUT has further cemented its leadership with Tukutuku, which is its most sustainable building to date. This project reinforces AUT’s position as the university with the lowest CO₂ emissions per square meter of built space across Australasia. The combination of mass timber construction and an adaptive reuse approach has been pivotal in reducing embodied carbon by half compared to a conventional new build.”
