Baldwin Spencer Building, Victorian Heritage Register building at University of Melbourne, Australia
The Baldwin Spencer Building features Early English Gothic architecture with rusticated freestone walls, buttresses, and decorated arched window frames at Parkville Campus.
Constructed between 1887 and 1888 as the Biology Building, the structure was renamed in 1920 to recognize Sir Baldwin Spencer's contributions to science education.
The building includes an original tiered lecture theatre with wooden seating, laboratories, and a library ceiling supported by cast-iron columns from the 1890s.
Located at 152-292 Grattan Street in Melbourne, the building serves as an information and learning center for design and environment studies students.
The structure maintains intact interiors from its initial construction period, including original staircases and a greenhouse with animal compounds at the rear.
