Opened in 2023 and located in the heart of Wellington's cultural precinct opposite Te Papa Tongarewa, Tākina Wellington Convention & Exhibition Centre balances flexibility and functionality with the latest technology, cutting-edge contemporary design, and panoramic views over the city and Wellington harbour.
Tākina has been designed and built in a way that reduces negative impacts on the environment. It has been awarded Five Green Star Design certification – the first convention centre in the country to achieve this standard.
Designed by Studio Pacific Architecture, Tākina’s iconic design draws inspiration from a wide range of sources, including its maritime location and Wellington’s dramatic and sometimes wild weather patterns and landforms. The Māori mythology of Te Upoko o Te Ika - the head of the great fish of Maui - is also represented within the architecture.
