Description

Construction in enamel painted corrugated iron. A very tall assemblage that goes the full height of the multi-story foyer. Drops of corrugated iron fall clear of the gentle curved wall behind.

The Music School building, also completed in 1985-6, was designed by David Mitchell and Jack Manning (firm Hill Manning Mitchell).
