Library-Campus venture off to good start
Ties between “town and gown” were strengthened today at the ceremonial blessing of the Unitec Campus and Waitakere City Library building site.
Tangata Whenua, Waitakere City Council and Unitec representatives joined in prayer and celebration as the “first sod” was turned at the City’s new library, tertiary campus, carpark building and public plazas at Ratanui Street, Henderson.
Unitec CEO Dr John Webster said the partnership between Council and the institution had got off to a good start. He complimented the Council as being a “dream to work with”.
Dr Webster said the venture represented a “future for all the people of Waitakere. We have the will and the capacity to serve this region”.
Waitakere Council’s Deputy Mayor Carolynne Stone said the relationship between Unitec and Council was a crucial first step in Waitakere’s future as a “knowledge economy”.
