MacRobertson Girls’ High School buildings
MacRobertson Girls’ High School buildings, Heritage-listed school building in Albert Park, Victoria, Australia
The MacRobertson Girls' High School buildings feature four distinct wings designed for different academic disciplines, with a prominent clock tower on the facade.
Norman Seabrook designed these buildings in 1934 after winning a competition, receiving funds from Sir Michael Macpherson Robertson's $100,000 donation to Victoria.
The buildings represent the first modernist school constructed in Victoria, marking a departure from traditional Gothic and Georgian Revival educational architecture.
The interior spaces incorporate durable materials like linoleum and terracotta tiles, with a color scheme of red, blue, yellow, green, and black.
The Glen Iris Cream bricks used in construction became a standard choice for modernist architecture throughout Victoria following this building's completion.
