About
History
The idea to build a marae for Unitec came after the former chief executive officer, Dr John Webster, attended the opening of Manukau Institute of Technology’s marae in 1999. A challenge to build Unitec’s first marae was taken up by the late Sir John Turei, and Haare Williams Unitec’s Pae Arahi at the time, on behalf of the institution.

Services
Student services
There are a number of people on campus who offer support, or can point you in the right direction.
Housing services
- If you want to live off-campus you could rent an apartment or house in the local area, or rent a room in a shared house.
- Flatting is renting a room in a shared house. Your room is private but the lounge, kitchen and bathroom are shared. You and your flatmates are responsible for cooking and cleaning, and for paying the bills. Rooms are often unfurnished, so you might need to buy some furniture. You can find cheap options in local second-hand shops.
- Renting an apartment or house near Unitec is a good option for both families and couples.
