The Niue USP Centre was opened in 1972 in the old Niue Teachers College building but was subsequently  relocated to an improved facility at its present site at Paliati, which was officially opened by the then Vice-Chancellor Mr Esekia Solofa, on August 30 in 2000.

By comparison to other USP Campuses in the Region the Niue Campus is a small single unit building which houses the Library and study cubicles for students, a Video Conference room, an area/room for small tutorial groups, two lecture rooms and a computer.

Outside in an enclosed area are the 3.6m satellite dish and an entire perimeter that is completely fenced off to keep out wandering animals.
