The University of Otago Registry Building, also known as the Clocktower Building, is a Victorian and later structure in the city of Dunedin, New Zealand. It stands next to the banks of the Water of Leith and is constructed from contrasting dark Leith Valley basalt and Oamaru stone, with a foundation of Port Chalmers breccia. The building houses the administrative centre of the university, and the office of the Vice-Chancellor. It has a Category I listing with Heritage New Zealand.It is the principal element of the Clocktower complex, the group of Gothic revival buildings at the heart of the University of Otago's campus. The most prominent of the group it was designed and re-designed by Maxwell Bury and Edmund Anscombe, between the 1870s and the 1920s. This resulted in a revised geometry and a change to the original conception.
