The University of Waikato wishes to procure the architectural services for the design and construction observation of the Tauranga CBD Campus. The purpose of the RFP is to invite external companies to submit proposals to the University of Waikato with information on their skills, services, location and experience in Architectural services for the Tauranga CBD Campus Stage 1.

The new Tauranga CBD campus will deliver a world-class modern and high-tech tertiary education building in the Tauranga CBD. One that creates an environment with flexible, innovative space for teaching and learning, and collaborations with industry, business and the Bay of Plenty community. The new campus building should be a real landmark building for the area with a distinctive form that is sympathetic to the context of its location. An important consideration during master planning should be a tangible connection to the surrounding streets, buildings and the CBD.
