Activities to fit into your schedule, and do at your own pace

Located in Building 111, the gym is well equipped and has four zones – the circuit machines, cardio, weights as well as gear needed for fitness classes. For more details, including membership, please see this Te Aka page.
Book club
Do you enjoy reading for leisure? Need an excuse to rave about your new favourite book? The Unitec Book Club meets to share recommendations and to chat about books, authors, events and more. Want to join? Email Sana via ssaleem@unitec.ac.nz
Pool game
Did you know the staff room in B112 has a pool table? All staff can use this table.
Team Experiences
Join a club or a team challenge
There is a lot of great things happening here at Unitec! By making the time to attend we not only get to connect with the rest of the organisation and have fun, but we also support our students and staff initiatives. For example, you might want to join a club (i.e. Unitec Social Club, or the ALLY Network) or sign up for yearly Unitec team challenges (i.e. Bike Challenge, Walking challenge). For other great opportunities to engage make sure you regularly check the Te Aka/The Nest home page.
Explore our campus
There is great power in mini-adventures, and contrary to popular belief, they are not reserved for children. Choosing to venture down a path you don’t normally take will stimulate your mind and activate a sense of wonder, and you might just bump into colleagues you haven’t seen in a while.
Our beautiful campus is best explored by foot or bike as we do have a permanent fleet of push bikes for you to borrow.
Manaaki whenua
Manaaki Whenua (working bees)
Throughout the year, you can join Nga Kaitiaki in taking care of our wāhi tapu, our sacred spaces here on Mt Albert campus, by clearing grass and weeds from around the stream and also learning about the life systems which the healing waters of Wairaka sustain.
Keep an eye out on Nest for the upcoming dates. If weeding is not your cup of tea but you would like to organise a volunteer opportunity for your team, do get in touch with the Wellbeing and Safety team and we will help you sort something out.
