Te Aka Mauri incorporates the Rotorua Library and Rotorua Children's Health Hub. The venue offers untold opportunities for learning, inspiration, education and health, for everyone in our community now and in the future.
The name Te Aka Mauri was gifted by Ngā Mahinga Toi, a group of iwi leaders brought together to guide the design process. Te Aka means "the vine" or interconnection and Mauri means "life force" or essence. The name reflects the shared vision to create a facility of excellence to advance community wellbeing and understanding.
The Te Aka Mauri building comprises four floors. It is located right in the heart of the CBD stretching the full length from Arawa Street to Haupapa Street. It looks out across Jean Batten Square, which has been extensively landscaped to include a unique children's playground and green space.
