Wallis Wing, part of Victoria House, is a privately owned hostel for Victoria University of Wellington, housing 182 undergraduates, typically first-year students. Originally opened in 1907 as the Women Student’s Hostel Society, Victoria House is the oldest hall of residence at Victoria University of Wellington. In the early 1970s, a five-story accommodation block, later named Wallis Wing, was constructed across the back of the old houses at 280 to 288 The Terrace to accommodate the growing number of residents.
The roof was upgraded in 2020 with an Ultratherm Extreme system featuring a FiberTite membrane. The low pitch of the roof remained unchanged. The FiberTite membrane proved to be the ideal solution for this project, offering robust performance that stays reliable even with low slopes on nominally flat surfaces. The standard warranty applies even at low pitch, making it a dependable choice for the upgrade of this building.
