Staff from AUT University’s School of Communication Studies and Creative Technologies Interdisciplinary Unit on Friday visited the new inner city Auckland campus precinct that will be the heart of the New Zealand urban university.

The precinct will house specialist facilities for the School of Communication Studies, including a screen and television studio, motion capture and chroma key studio, performance studio, radio station, sound and edit suites, digital media computer labs, and a brand new media centre.

The media centre will bring all communication studies programmes together under one roof, including advertising, digital media, journalism, public relations, radio and television.

To adapt to the changing needs of AUT’s students and advancements in technology, and to make the most of the new facilities, the school's curriculum will be modified from 2013.
