This is a well-planned design which, though it does not adhere to the instructions so closely as the winning scheme, provides the accommodation required, though in some cases the dimensions of the rooms are modified. The Science School is extremely well treated by this competitor. The architectural chamber is satisfactory, and the general forms and the architectural detail would produce a picturesque and graceful exterior. The cubic contents of this building are stated at 654,608ft., priced the bulk of it at 7d., but some at 4d., and allowances amounting to £1,650 are added for fittings and fences; total, £19,932. – Assessor’s report.
