This  youtube interview with Sir Miles Warren capture the essence of the College House design and the stories behind the architecture of one of New Zealand's most beautiful buildings.

​

Sir Miles Warren designed College House. This was one of the first houses of residence at New Zealand's University of Canterbury new site, in 1966. Filmed in 2013, Sir Miles talks about why College House was designed in such a different way from most university halls of residence. Walk with him as he revisits the College and enjoys what he calls Warren and Mahoney's 'best ever room'. College House commissioned alumnus and award winning film maker, Seung-woo Hong, to make this video. 

With 7 months to go we still have 50 alumni who have  "Disappeared" - that is, house men who have slipped "off the radar". The list of  "The Disappeared" is shown below.

​

If you are in contact with any of those on the “The Disappeared” list please direct them to this website ( www.CH50.org ) or alternatively,  share with us ( jlorentz@xtra.co.nz  ) any contact details you may have.
