Menzies Building

Menzies building in Monash Clayton Campus is the landmark of Monash University. It was build in 1960s, now it is also known as building 11.

Menzies building is a typical old school construction design. It has a obvious shape and line, everything is just square and straight. In my opinion, Menzies building was constructed by two major parts. One is the big square object---main building body, the other is the small square object--little tower on the roof. That mades the whole building looks strong and stable.

The building can be seen quite clear level by level, lines are made of concrete are used to separeat each level. And the windows are in square shape as well, they lines up clearly and symmetrically.

There is only one colour of the building, light green. (it was light yellow before the building refreshment in early 2009). The colour of the windows are still white. I think those colours matches the old shcool style very well.
