The former Mowbray College Patterson Campus at Melton is a cohesive complex of low-cost Post-modern style school buildings designed by the architect and critic Norman Day between 1982 and 1997.
History Summary
Mowbray College was an independent community school established by local residents in Melton in 1983 and named Mowbray College to honour early settlers in the area, who came from Melton Mowbray in England. A school advisory committee formed in 1980, appointed Alan Patterson as founding headmaster and purchased a former knitting mill at Melton to use for classes. The school was to follow the ideas of the German educator Kurt Hahn (1886-1974), with a greater emphasis on pastoral care, individual initiative and social concerns than was usual in schools at the time. Classes began in 1983 at various sites in the town and moved into the mill building later that year. In 1982 Patterson had commissioned the Melbourne architect Norman Day to design new school buildings, and together they developed a master-plan based on a village concept, with low-cost domestic-scale classrooms and communal buildings connected by walkways. The buildings were designed by Norman Day + Associates in the Post-modern idiom of the 1960s-1980s. It was intended that the students would find the school environment as familiar as their homes, and the buildings were closely related to their suburban context in materials, scale and form. The school was built in stages with the close participation of the school community, and with the architecture evolving as the school developed. The school received wide coverage in the architectural press, and in 1988 Day was awarded the inaugural national Lustig & Moar Architectural Prize for the buildings and the Australian Library Promotion Council/RAIA Library Design Award for the library building. Day's period as school architect ended in 1997 and several buildings designed by others were added to the site after that date. The campus was renamed the Patterson Campus in 2002 in honour of the former headmaster. The school closed in 2012 and was taken over by Heathdale Christian College.
Description Summary
The former Mowbray College Patterson Campus is a complex of inventive and exuberant Post-modern style buildings based on the local suburban typology. The buildings are mostly of multi-coloured brick in shades of brown, red, orange and apricot laid in a variety of patterns. The school was conceived as a village community with a series of self-contained classrooms as 'houses', each with their own front door, back door and garden. The library building with its prominent rotunda with a square roof is the focus of the school, and together with the art, art technology, science and administration buildings are the main 'public buildings' of the complex. Each building is made distinctive through varied roof forms and the |
