Aquinas College, Otago
Aquinas College is a residential college of the University of Otago, named after St. Thomas Aquinas, located in the suburb of Dalmore. Formerly a Roman Catholic institution in the care of the Dominican order from the 1950s, the college was bought by the University in 1988 and was run for a time under the name Dalmore House, with the original name later restored.
Aquinas College maintains much of the 1950s architecture, but recently there have been major facility upgrades to make the College look more modern, and to provide up to date services for the residents. The College currently houses 160 University students, making it one of the smaller University of Otago residential colleges. Due to its distance from campus, Aquinas College provides a shuttle service for residents to and from the University. Notable among its facilities is its gymnasium, being the only college to have a full indoor basketball court.[2]
