The Beaurepaire Centre (1956-57) is an assured and joyful
example of the Post-War Melbourne Regional style (Melbourne School), distinguished by structural expression, radical functionalism
and bold use of colour and texture.
In 2003, we undertook careful, sympathetic upgrading
and conservation of the building to provide modern facilities updating the services and technology, bringing the building up to current statutory standards and providing for the sports tackled by today's students. Our work included the complete refurbishment of the pool and provision of a new gymnasium and program areas, a new lift and disabled access. As with many University works involving state registered heritage buildings, the project began with a conservation management plan to provide direction.
