Aotea Centre - Internal Refurbishment
A sophisticated and inviting interior
The refurbishment of Aotea Centre's interior is complete
Work on the new interior began in 2018, progressing one level at a time to revitalise all five levels. All interior structures and finishes have been completely refreshed, bringing the 30-year old centre in the heart of the Aotea Arts Quarter fully up-to-date. With its fresh ambience, modern technology and inclusive wayfinding, Aotea Centre is red-carpet ready.
Find your way easily
As well as updated lighting, floor and wall treatments, clear wayfinding and improved accessibility has been incorporated for all our patrons, including braille signage and audio in the lifts. You will also see inviting new bar areas to mingle. Our public spaces and bars all have new names to reflect where they are in the building - and our unique Tamaki Makaurau setting.
A bright welcome
At the entrance, you will soon see an inviting floor-to-ceiling glass entryway and a new, purpose built box office to match. With foyers opened up to the light, you can see the striking atrium artwork and other artworks on all levels. Our new-look Centre features open design and appealing function spaces that create an inspiring venue for any occasion.
Spaces to exhibit and collaborate
The upgraded interior is a fitting backdrop for artists, exhibitions and performances and it provides the perfect spaces for collaboration and business meetings. With the refreshed Terrace Café and Bar on our doorstep, you have everything you need right here.
