The subsequent revised scheme better complemented the rest of Reed and Barnes’ Gothic Revival Ormond college.

The interior volume is divided into smaller rooms by brick walls and timber or glass partitions.

This library displays Frederick Romberg’s interest in complex geometries and continues the polygonal type pavilion design similar to the planning arrangement he explored with Picken Court (1961–1963).

The interior was stripped to find a geometric steel truss forming the roof structure and supported the ceiling for the ground floor.

This led to the re-design taking shape of a glass domed roof, exposing the steel truss and allowing light into the core of the building.
