Buildings at the former La Trobe High School in the Melbourne suburb of Heidelberg West, Victoria, Australia. The buildings are now owned by La Trobe University and served for many years as the home of La Trobe Melbourne International College.
This school 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. .

Science wing at Sandringham Secondary College in the Melbourne suburb of Beaumaris, Victoria, Australia.
Built in 1967, this is an extremely rare example of an incomplete LTC classroom wing.
The external walls of this section of the building are clad with temporary sheeting (rather than the normal cement tile finish) to permit classrooms to be built within this space. The corridor roof has an uncharacteristically steep pitch (unlike in instances where there was no intention of building classrooms on either side of the corridor; see Example 1 and Example 2). A bicycle storage facility has now been erected in the space.

From my experience, every school garden looks the same: A random mix of garden species alternating between dense shrubbery and bare patches, all planted in overly-narrow garden beds between long classroom wings and a sea of bitumen.
This was seen at Beaufort Secondary College in Beaufort, Victoria, Australia. This school was built in 1962.

Just awsome! Great modern kitchen mixed with the centuries old model Negra 5 tile. I should blow this image up and place it outside of my warehouse!

With standard colours (black and white) you see that a farmer style kitchen can be created easily.
And with extra pattern border tiles you just get that extra finesse!
Nice hallway with mostly plain tiles and a small pattern in the middle.
Countless combinations are possible... if you can think it, we can make it!
