The Te Aro campus is Victoria University of Wellington's centre of Architecture and Design Innovation. It's located close to cosmopolitan Cuba Street, with funky shops, cafés and street life.

The Te Aro campus has two buildings, with the reception located in the University's striking red building at 139 Vivian Street. A purpose-built space Wigan Building has been leased directly behind 139 Vivian Street, allowing consolidation of the whole Faculty within one location, Te Aro campus.
