About
Our new millennium college, just a five minute walk from campus, opened its doors in 2000. We are home to both University and Otago Polytechnic students.
We value this diversity which can throw together future fashion designers, artists, doctors, nurses, teachers, lawyers, outdoor pursuit trainers, and students studying a multitude of other disciplines. It's a rich mix that has its own energy and builds a brilliant network of creativity and knowledge. There's always a buzz at City College.
The creative architectural design of our college reflects our modern thinking. Our culture is based on 21st century values where everyone is encouraged to show consideration and compassion for others. There's an emphasis on individual freedom without limiting the freedom of others. We are a safe college.
Earthquake assessment: City College was designed and built in 1998-99, to the Loading Standard NZS4203:1992. This Standard has been updated to the current earthquake Standard AS/NZS 1170.5:2002, there are only minor changes between these two Standards for the Dunedin region.
The buildings on this site therefore have 100% strength, as required by the current Earthquake Loading Standard.
