The longitudinal section of the Great Hall depicted in this drawing by B. W. Mountfort. Built in 1882 the Great Hall was among the first buildings of Canterbury College to be constructed. Additions to the college were designed by other notable Christchurch architects up until the 1920s when most of the stone buildings that now occupy the site were completed. The Canterbury College premises became the Christchurch Arts Centre when the university relocated to Ilam. The Arts Centre was significantly damaged during the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes. Restoration began promptly but repairs expected to take up to 15 years to complete.
