The new BNZ Bloomberg Markets Lab, Te Taura Takata, has opened at the University of Otago Business School. It’s a project of national importance, weaving a unique cultural narrative into the fabric of a historical building of national importance.
The lab was opened in August 2022 by Finance Minister Grant Robertson, Head of BNZ Dan Huggins, and Head of Bloomberg Australasia James Bell
The project is one of the largest academic trading labs in New Zealand with 12 Bloomberg Professional terminals, allowing students to access the same trading platform used by the world's leading investment companies, banks, corporations and government agencies.
The te reo Māori name for the BNZ Bloomberg Markets Lab – Te Taura Takata (The Ties That Bind) – has been gifted by the University of Otago’s Office of Māori Development.
TEAM Dunedin were the architects working with a team from the University of Otago. The story of the cultural narrative worked into the project, developed by artist Madison Kelly with the University of Otago internal communications team, can be found at the link below.
