4 / MASSEY HALLS AUCKLAND - TE ÖHANGA VILLAGE History You are joining an amazing heritage. Massey University is named after a New Zealand Prime Minister, William Ferguson Massey (1865-1925). Our foundations were formed in 1928 in Palmerston North by Sir Geoffrey Peren and Professor William Riddet, two visionaries who valued educating students to apply knowledge and help solve problems of their day. Discoveries through research made over the years have helped shape New Zealand and changed the way we do things. At Massey we continue to educate students who can think for themselves, look at challenges and see opportunities. Massey University has now expanded to four campuses – Auckland, Manawatu, Wellington and Distance. Albany, the home of Auckland campus, has been the fastest growing area of Auckland’s North Shore. Strawberry gardens and dairy farms were redeveloped in the 1980s and 1990s into lifestyle blocks or housing. Our Auckland campus opened in 1993 and the surrounding area has also grown rapidly, expanding and supporting the University. Te Öhanga Village opened in February 2015. Further developments are planned for the campus which will see a new innovation complex which is due to start in 2020. As a student living on our campus, you are helping to shape Massey's and New Zealand's future.
