Anthony Gerald Lanigan, MNZM (born 1947), was the first Chancellor of the Auckland University of Technology 2000-2001 and a founding director in New Zealand of the international charity, Habitat for Humanity. ==Background== Lanigan spent his childhood in Auckland. He came from a strong Catholic family, in Northcote, and was educated at St Peter's College where he was joint ''proxime accessit'' in 1965 and at the University of Auckland where he obtained a Ph.D in engineering in 1975.〔Anthony G Lanigan, ''The temperature response of concrete box girder bridges ()'', thesis (PhD)--University of Auckland, School of Engineering, 1973.〕 His research into the prediction of thermal stress conditions in box girder bridges stemmed from post construction problems with the Newmarket Viaduct. His research yielded a design approach for accommodating solar-induced thermal loads on civil engineering structures.〔(''Engineering Dimension'', March 2004, Issue 24, p. 5. )〕 Lanigan had a strong social justice ethos from his student days at Auckland University where he was involved in demonstrating against the Vietnam war, apartheid and nuclear arms. He also worked with the Daughters of Charity to establish De Paul House〔(DePaul House website - Our History ) (retrieved 8 December 2010)〕 in Northcote. Tony and his wife Krys Lanigan are members of St Marys Catholic Parish in Northcote, Auckland.〔(David Lawson, Habitat for Humanity, ''Marist Messenger'', 1 September 2009. )〕
