The February 2011 earthquake made 10 of its buildings unable to be used and caused the student population to drop by 15 percent. Last year, the university posted a $68 million loss.
Speaking on campus today, Chancellor John Wood confirmed a $100 million grant from the Government.
Mr Wood said the money would go toward the new Rutherford Science and Innovation centre.
