A Miesian-esque laboratory block erected to a design by Robin Walker (1924-91) of Michael Scott and Partners (renamed 1958) of Dublin not only contributing positively to the group and setting values of the Saint Columba's College complex, but also clearly illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the complex in the later twentieth century.
