William Turner and the Stuart Residence Halls Council.〔Turner, p. 14〕 The name "Arana" is a Māori transliteration of "Allen", chosen to honour Sir James Allen, a former Vice Chancellor (1903–1909) and Chancellor (1909–1912) of the University of Otago. The current warden is Jamie Gilbertson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=24 Sep 2013 )〕 The main administration areas of Arana are based in what was once Sir James Allen’s Queen Anne-style mansion, with residents accommodated in 4 main buildings and 18 houses. The college is located immediately to the northeast of the central campus, at the top of a small but steep rise known as Tanna Hill (a corruption of "Botanic Hill", after the nearby first site of the Dunedin Botanic Gardens). It overlooks the Otago Campus only 200 metres from the Registry Clock Tower, a notable feature of the University campus. The University of Otago College of Education, Otago Polytechnic and the Dunedin Botanical Garden are all within easy walking distance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=24 Sep 2013 )〕 ==History== Originally, Arana housed 27 male residents〔 in a property purchased by the university but administered by the Stuart Residence Halls Council.〔 Accommodation initially consisted of Allen's former home but, under pressure for space, former World War II Nissen army huts were soon erected.〔Macaulay, p. 8〕 Public subscriptions and government funding, as part of the Colombo Plan were used to build permanent buildings, the Colombo (opened in 1964 housing 56 residents) and Bates (opened in 1968 housing 48 residents) wings.〔Macaulay, p. 18〕 The international students brought to Arana as part of the Colombo Plan have added a distinctive international flavour. Throughout the college's history houses on surrounding Clyde,〔Macaulay, p. 12〕 Dundas,〔 Leith〔 and St David〔Macaulay, p. 14〕 Sts have been purchased in order to provide extra accommodation. Arana has accepted female students since 1978.〔Macaulay, p. 20〕 The 1980s saw a downturn in numbers of new students at the university, and the College faced challenges in attracting sufficient residents. The college survived by temporarily converting surrounding houses to self-contained accommodation.〔Macaulay, p. 22〕 Luckily, by the late 1980s the University of Otago was again in a growth phase, and Arana College truly began to develop into a residential village. In 1994 Turner Wing was opened, housing 27 residents. In 2005-2006 Arana College undertook a major upgrade of the central facilities and increased the number of rooms available to students by building two new accommodation blocks, Leith View housing 60 residents〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=24 Sep 2013 )〕 and Rawiri (a transliteration of St David) housing 104 residents.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=24 Sep 2013 )〕 The college now houses approximately 397 residents in total between its main buildings and surrounding houses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arana College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
