EIT Campus and Location

The Eastern Institute of Technology, as it is named today, was officially opened as the Hawke’s Bay Community College by the Minister of Education, Phil Amos. Mr Amos laid the foundation stone, on 4 October 1975.

In 1987 the Hawke’s Bay Community College was renamed the ‘Hawke’s Bay Polytechnic’, the next name change – to the ‘Eastern Institute of Technology’ occurred in 1996, the Institute’s 21st year.

The site on which the main campus is based in Taradale was donated to the people of Hawke’s Bay at the time of the province’s centenary by the late Margaret Hetley in memory of her husband, Arnaud.
