Peter Corrigan

Peter Russell Corrigan AM (6 May 1941 – 1 December 2016) was an Australian architect and was involved in the completion of works in stage and set design.

[1] Corrigan was educated at Christian Brothers College, St Kilda and then completed his degree in architecture, in 1966 at Melbourne University.

[4] Corrigan's extensive collection of books and periodicals related to architecture and design was left to RMIT University Library after his death.

It traced the "creative focus of this remarkable Australian architect, bringing to life many of his designs over four decades including architectural models and drawings by Edmond and Corrigan; set and costume designs for theatre; artworks, records and notations from his personal collection and key works selected from public collections which have enriched his practice".

[6] On 9 June 2008 Peter Corrigan was recognised as a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) "for service to architecture as an academic, educator and practitioner and to the arts, particularly through theatre production design.

Regardless of the theme of the design studio, students are pointed toward the activities of the local scene – the performance of a play, an exhibition or a big game at the MCG.

The use of red and cream brick creates subtle highlighted architectural effects not only on the front façade, but also within its surrounds.

The chapel won the RAIA Victorian Chapter Merit Award for Outstanding Architecture, New Buildings Category in 1983.

Following the construction of Building 8 it was found necessary to include a "new lift and service core"[11] to allow access to the upper floors.

Detail within the interior such as "balustrades and hand railing"[11] have been positioned in a way giving the building a unique yet chaotic sentiment.
