Wintec House – A Unique Facility in the Heart of Hamilton

Posted On: Wednesday, 01 September 2010

Wintec House, the historical brick corner building located on Wintec’s city campus, is opening its doors this month. 

Formerly known as F Block, the two-storied building has been refurbished over the past 18 months and is set to become a unique facility for Hamilton and the greater Waikato. 

Wintec House, located on the corner of Anglesea and Nisbet Streets, links into the heart of Hamilton and will feature:

• Urban Hair and Urban Spa – A training and retail space for Wintec’s hairdressing and beauty students. There will be three state-of-the-art salons and a new beauty spa wing.
   
•  The Atrium – An event space, in the form of a large glass atrium, to be used for functions, conferences and a variety of other events. In addition, there is also a smaller event space called The Long Room.
   
• The Business Floor – featuring the offices of some of the Waikato’s leading business organisations; Waikato Chamber of Commerce, Opportunity Hamilton and the Hamilton Central Business Association.

Wintec Chief Executive Mark Flowers said: “Wintec House is an impressive facility and one that we are immensely proud of.  We are committed to modernising our campuses and have achieved this at the same time as preserving a piece of ours, Hamilton’s and the Waikato region’s heritage.

“I believe there is no other facility quite like Wintec House in the Waikato which combines educational facilities, a quality event space, and commercial offices all under the same roof.

“I’d hope many people in our region can visit this unique facility in the coming months, whether it be through the public open day, visits to the offices of Waikato’s leading business organisations or through events being held in The Atrium.”

A public open day, where people can enjoy a guided tour of Wintec House plus view a historic photo exhibition, is scheduled for Saturday 18 September. Held between 11am and 1pm, the public can experience the inspired design of Wintec House which easily mixes the heritage building aspects with modern architecture. More details coming soon!
