Otago Polytechnic Student Village provides over 200 student rooms and associated common areas and amenities on campus. The quality and character of the village rival the best examples of student accommodation in Australia and New Zealand and significantly enhance the appeal of Otago Polytechnic and Dunedin City as a place of learning.

The elongated building reflects the predominant forms of the multi-storey buildings surrounding the site. Where possible, the plan has been staggered to generate a form that is offset between different accommodation units, in order to reduce the scale and to provide depth. Trees and sports fields screen the building from the public site boundaries.
