这是由Warren and Mahoney设计的麻省曼努考理工学院学习中心及交通换乘中心。该项目整合了两个基本元素：一座20000平方米的麻省曼努考理工学院学习中心和一座新建的奥克兰火车站。通过将教育和交通两种功能无缝编织在一起，该项目呈现了一种与传统教育建筑设计相悖的设计理念。

南奥克兰的市民受高等教育程度只有全国平均水平的一半。而麻省的任务是在社区中提供学习的可能性。因此，麻省曼努考理工学院消除了通达的障碍，欢迎人们参与学习。通过整合校园公共交通系统，进入该建筑的乘客也就直抵麻省的核心区及项目。从美学上来讲，该建筑有必要反应麻省理工学院的价值观和愿景，同时适当回应社区的文化多样性。该设计使用了结构整合的方式，包括材料、饰面和环境技术的直接运用。“钻石状”斜拉柱的交互、横向外露钢束线和室外水平遮阳系统形成了一种复杂而重复的模式，能唤起多种文化和多种视点的体验。

MIT Manukau integrates two essential elements: a 20,000sq.m learning facility for the Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) and a new Auckland Transport railway station. By seamlessly weaving together education and transport, MIT Manukau represents a complete departure from conventional education design.

The people of South Auckland enrol in tertiary education at a rate only half the national average. MIT’s mission is to open up the possibility of study in the minds of their community. Correspondingly, MIT Manukau is designed to eliminate barriers to entry and invite people to engage with the possibilities of learning. By integrating the campus with the public transport system, commuters entering the building are exposed to the heart of MIT and its programmes, consequently reaching the widest possible audience.

The ground floor expresses an open invitation to all who approach – a feeling magnified by the soaring six storey atrium. Learning spaces themselves are not formal. Instead, they are flexible, open and designed for student interaction.Aesthetically, the building has the responsibility to reflect the values and aspirations of MIT while also providing an appropriate response to the community’s cultural diversity. The design response has generated a structurally integrated approach incorporating the direct use of materials, finishes and environmental techniques. The interaction of raking ‘diamond brace’ columns, transverse external steel beam lines, and external horizontal sun shading produces a complex but repeating pattern that is evocative of not one, but many cultures and many points of view.

Internally, the architecture is conceived as a simple framework - a ‘coathanger’ for students to dress with their own identities, to hang the cloak of the community on. It is a very adaptable, open space, incorporating warm timber and vibrant colour; built with long term flexibility to evolve with both the identity of the community and contemporary educational pedagogy.
