The speccy #EakinsHall at #QueensCollege #Melbourne University was built 1964. Love that folded timber ceiling, presumably cladding some interesting trusses. Designed by #BatesSmartMcCutcheon, it makes and interesting comparison with their Wilson Hall of a few years before; more modern, but less fine materials. The walls are #concreteblock, perhaps meant to emulate stone (which they don’t). Great low hanging copper #canisterlights, and a rather mad glass reed chandelier thing over the stage. The exterior is rather underwhelming. Old photos Wolfgang Sievers 1965 @library_vic
