CPIT has a centrally located campus within the CBD on Madras Street just to the south of Cathedral Square in Christchurch, New Zealand. The majority of programmes are taught here, with trades (carpentry, automotive, joinery, etc.) taught at CPIT's Sullivan Avenue campus in Opawa, in southeast Christchurch. A brand new student services building has just recently been built at the Sullivan Ave campus. It contains a new cafeteria, two television walls, private meeting rooms that can be opened up to create one big space, a new library with books specifically for the trades, a drop in computer area and state-of-the-art lighting and electronics.
