Classroom building at Noble Park Seconday College in the Melbourne suburb of Noble Park, Victoria, Australia.
This school, built in 1961, is an example of the "Light Timber Construction" (LTC) design developed in the 1950's by the Public Works Department in Victoria. As the State Government struggled to build enough schools following WW2, the uniform nature of the LTC design meant that hundreds of schools of almost uniform design could be built in a cost-effective and speedy manner.
Forty years later and many of these buildings are falling apart, having far exceeded their intended lifespan. As the government embarks on a massive programme to either rebuild or substantially refurbish most school buildings, I have taken the opportunity to take a series of photographs of LTC school architecture, whilst such examples remain.

Classroom building at Strathmore Secondary College in the Melbourne suburb of Strathmore, Victoria, Australia. Constructed 1957.
This is one of the worst examples of a decaying school building that I have seen. The wooden battens supporting the pre-cast cement tiles have rotted thus opening a vast cavity below the classroom floor which has been unsuccessfully closed with plywood.
