Dreams in the sky and asphalt in the playground: A view of Donald High School in the regional town of Donald, Victoria, Australia.
_____________________
This school is an example of a "Type 300" "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.
