MSLE Building

Queens College extention Potential construction constraints: The existing elements of the two older buildings, air ventalation Links to other buildings: Beams in between the two buildings Construction type: Frame (light) construction in between two brick layered buildings. (Mass construction) Structural Systems: Steel frame, with zinc sheets cladding over the top. (connecting the two buildings), vertical beams welded together.

Materials: Zinc, brick walls of the existing buildings, glass windows and steel beams

Potential construction constraints: Preserving and restoring parts of the exiting building.

Links to other buildings: Concrete slabs on the ground connecting the existing building and the extention Construction type: Mass Construction Structural Systems: Steel work supporting concrete panel, timber framing, brick construction of old building, concrete floor slabs, steel sheet roofing Materials:Concrete, timber, steel, brick Ormond Theology Centre Reception Potential construction constraints: Natural lighting Links to other buildings: Construction type: Both Mass construction and light construction.

Structural Systems: Concrete collums supporting the horizontal structures. Concrete walls.

Extention of steel framed windows coming out of the concrete walls, copper sheets on the outside of the building, welded steel collums supporting glass windows.

Materials: Concrete, copper, wood, steel

Oval Pavilion - Redevelopment This photo was taken from the East side of the side.

It’s taken from a fair distance away from the site, showing the amount of space the new structure is going to take up, as well as the old building being preserved in the middle.

Oval Pavilion - Redevelopment These photos were taking from the pedestrian & bicycle path on the north side of the construction site.

From this angle, we were able to tell that the base of the building below the ground level has been completed, steel reinforcements have been installed and the structure is now waiting for the concrete slab that goes on top of the current level.

Oval Pavilion - Redevelopment These two photos were taken from the Western side of the site showing the work done to the existing building.

We can tell that the plan is to try and preserve this historical building by renovating the building and maybe repainting it. (As parts of the building have been removed, and they have dug up the base of the building)

Oval Pavilion - Redevelopment These two photos were taken from the Southern side of the site.

The photos are able to show the strip footings layed out beneath the ground with reinforcements installed. We can predict that a wall or some other sort of long, horizontal structure will be built upon the footings.
