OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:

Completed in 1941, designed by Page & Steele.  2013 addition by Taylor Smith Architects.

As per Taylor Smyth Architects "The addition is designed as a simple brick box that ties visually into the existing gym, yet also distinguishes itself by a random play of windows that 'dance' across the facades, creating a whimsical composition. Inside, these windows are framed by deep surrounds of colour. The use of colour to animate the space is also carried onto the floor pattern, as well as with the use of different coloured window films that will be applied to portions of the windows, casting coloured shadows onto the floor as the sun moves around the building."
