Don Llewellens

"Don Llewellyns", August 2006, formerly "The Pavillion"

The Pavilion Bar was located at The University of Waikato, off Silverdale Rd at Gate 3. The building was initially the "Student Amenities Building", later known as the "Recreation Centre". It was opened as a bar after the construction of the new recreation centre near the central campus, and acted largely as a "sports bar". The walls were lined with honours boards of past students who had represented New Zealand sporting teams, and representative jerseys donated by these sportspeople. The bar was rebranded in the mid-2000's as Don Llewellens, named after the universities first vice-chancellor, with the emphasis on sport greatly reduced.
