Constructed during the Second World War in response to the Japanese threat, they were intended to house operational headquarters in the event of attack. The entrances to the underground complex were sealed after the war, and the existence of the caverns was largely forgotten until excavations were carried out in 1987. The caverns have now became the home of a series of Ring Laser experiments set up by the University of Canterbury's physics department. There is now an associated small public park and the parts of the caverns and periodically open to the public. References
