A SPACE FOR LEARNING: BORLAND OPEN DAY

As part of Preshil’s 80th anniversary celebrations, the seven school buildings designed by the late architect Kevin Borland were opened to the public on June 5th.

In 1972, Borland was awarded the RAIA bronze medal for this radical and playful collection of buildings that give expression to Borland’s personal motto that “architecture is not for the faint-hearted”.

A historical photo display and panel discussion was held in the Borland Hall, exploring the fascinating process of designing and building these significant structures and their renewed relevance today. Speakers included prominent architects and Borland colleagues Peter McIntyre and John Kenny, together with education and design specialists Mary Featherston and Ben Cleveland.
