In a profusely illustrated presentation, historian Dr John Wilson looks at the buildings of the University of Canterbury to discover what they tell us about the University and the City.

John has recently completed the 150th-anniversary official history of the University of Canterbury, A New History: The University of Canterbury 1873–2023.

Doors to the Rose Historic Chapel will open at 5.30pm.

This is a non-ticked event so to avoid disappointment arrival at a reasonable time in advance is recommended.
