OUSA Clubs & Societies Centre

About & Description

We are the hub for all things recreation on campus. We house a variety of clubs and societies, provide an awesome recreation programme and alongside all of that have some epic, free multipurpose spaces students can use for a variety of activities.

The Clubs and Societies Centre or "Clubs and Socs" (as often referred to) was built in 1979. It's original purpose was to provide facilities for our clubs and societies (hence the name) but soon grew into something much more unique. Over the years the centre has become a hub for all students, irrelevant of whether they belong to an affiliate group or not.

Mission

General Info

Take a mental walk through the Clubs and Societies Building with us!

It's warm and cosy with WIFI and comfy furnishings topped off with a bunch of cheap food and beverage options.

Company Overview

The OUSA Clubs and Societies Centre is one of three buildings that fall under the OUSA Recreation umbrella. The other buildings are the OUSA Squash Courts and the OUSA Aquatic Centre (nope, sorry we don't have a pool it primarily houses our Rowing Club). OUSA Recreation seeks to make your time as a student fun, fun, fun by facilitating and promoting a variety of activities outside your academic study. OUSA (or the Otago University Students Association if you didn't already know) more generally aims to facilitate the ultimate student experience (both academically and outside of class). We do this by providing representation, welfare, advocacy, events and media alongside recreation. For more information about OUSA head to our website www.ousa.org.nz
