Appraisal
Built in the Art Deco style of the early twentieth century, this building is Modern in design and in the technology utilised in its construction. Its smooth lines, geometric shapes and use of light, displayed in the large bright windows, are typical of its time. The building contrasts with the earlier architecture of its neighbouring Windle Building and the imposing Quadrangle.
