Architectural design and detailing are apparent in the execution of this former technical school. An interesting variety of materials were used in the construction of this building. Interesting colour and textural variations are created by the use of red brick, render, limestone, tiles and timber. The setting of the school is complimented by the later school building to the south, which is also constructed of similar materials.
