AUT’s School of Future Environments annual awards recognise the success and achievement of our amazing students and their fantastic work across Built Environment Engineering and Creative Technologies. Architecture was a new discipline in 2020, so there is not yet graduating student work to award.
The student work demonstrates their ability to rise to the challenges thrown up by COVID-19 and the students’ ability to think creatively in a different learning environment.
The strength of relationships with the School’s industry partners provides a crucial connection for students as they head towards graduation.
