"As part of Unitec's 50th anniversary, this exhibition brings together artworks,
artefacts, memorabilia, teaching resources and archival material connected to
Buildings 1, 6, 48, 55 & 76 and the buildings' history and origins.

These pieces tell the story of the people who studied, taught and worked in
these buildings, celebrating the role they have played in shaping Unitec's
creative community.

Accompanying the exhibition is a catalogue of reflections, anecdotes and
recollections that capture the personal histories connected to these spaces."
