Auckland Tower is The Auckland Project's welcome centre and first port of call for visitors. It is made up of a purpose built, two storey ticketing, information and display building, with an adjoining 29m high tower complete with a viewing platform 15m high.
There is also a single storey building for ancillary facilities. All buildings and structures are timber framed.
Auckland Tower was designed by award-winning architects Niall McLaughlin to evoke temporary structures from history, such as siege engines, drawn up against the walls of nearby Auckland Castle and represents barriers being broken down between the Castle and the town.
