Hamilton - Waikato University
The University of Waikato has campuses located in the cities of Hamilton
and Tauranga, New Zealand. Established in 1964, it was the first university in New Zealand to be built
from the ground up. The main Hamilton campus is spread over 64 hectares of landscaped gardens and
lakes, and includes extensive sporting and recreational areas. The Hamilton campus was originally farmland. Designed by architect John
Blake-Kelly in 1964, the open space landscaping contains extensive native
plantings, including a fernery, centred around three artificial lakes, created
by draining marshy paddocks. The lakes play a vital role in the University’s stormwater system, but they
are shallow, making them susceptible to eutrophication. Each spring harvesting
takes place to remove excess water weed and remove pest fish.
A beautiful stamp.
