Values
The place is a good example of Late 20th Century International architectural style.
The place contributes to the streetscape and townscape of East Perth.
The place represents improved educational facilities for western Australia in the 1970s
Physical Description
The Education Department is a perambulatory low rise building which maximises the southern exposure to the park and allows full development of the site. Being low rise allowed for a cost effective simple repetitive flat plate structural system. The columns are circular, chosen for aesthetic appeal and minimal cross section.
Offices are open plan with access primarily lateral. There are escalators in the central atrium and eight perimeter staircases.
The offices are approached by access ways which follow the major light wells running along the axis of the building.
The external cladding is aluminium and grey tinted glass which provides a durable, lightweight, thermally insulating façade, that is therefore economical to install and maintain.
