Massey University campus, 1 February 1969

An oblique aerial view of the Massey University campus, with Palmerston North in the distance.

The new Veterinary Sciences Building can be seen in the left of the picture. Adjacent to it, building work had commenced on the Veterinary Tower Block, while the new Boiler House is on the opposite side of University Avenue (the ring road surrounding the main campus area).

The newly completed Science Towers A and B and the nearly completed Science Tower C are in the centre of the image, with the Library and Student Centre just behind them and the Riddet Complex in front of them.

To the right of the Riddet Complex is Colombo Hall, behind which is the Farm Machinery Hall (later to become the Agricultural Mechanisation Building and, ultimately, the Facilities Managemnet Complex), and the interim Biology Building, today known as the Ecology Building (again, on the other side of the ring road).

To the right of the Student Centre are the buildings of the old Massey Agricultural College: the Main Building, the Old Hostel, the Refectory, the Pink Hostel, the Rehab Hostels, the Young Farmers' Club Memorial Hostel, Tiritea House and the original Registry Building.
