About 8km from the centre of town and located in some nicely landscaped parks and gardens, Unitec has a number of notable buildings, including Duncanson Hall with its 36 Sepik-style carved pillars, and Matheson Library , one of the largest libraries in the South Pacific and home to a small collection of artefacts. The university also hosts a biannual (even years) traditional singsing (celebratory festival/dance) whose participants are mainly students from around the country.
