Formerly known as the Old Arts building, the ClockTower was designed by R.A. Lippincott, a Chicago-trained architect and brother-in-law of Walter Burley Griffin, designer of Canberra.
The 54-metre tower, faced with Mount Somers stone, was inspired by the famous Tom Tower of Christ Church, Oxford. It has come to symbolise the University. The octagonal interior is vaulted and galleried with a mosaic floor and piers.
Some historic architecture in an ultra modern Auckland!
