The Owen G. Glenn Building is the new home of the Business School of the University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand, completed in late 2007. It is named after Owen G. Glenn (ONZM), an expatriate New Zealand businessman, who has in the past donated to a number of philanthropic causes, as well as giving NZ$ 7.5 million to the business school.[2]
The building has 11 levels to serve the teaching and research activities of the school, and has been described as being "a series of layered sinuous blades anchored by a central atrium.".[3]
The lowest levels feature teaching, learning and administrative spaces, while the higher floors contain offices for 287 staff, 80% having individual offices. The basement of the building contains 700 parking spaces.
