V. UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA 



The laboratories of the University of Sydney have been 

 chosen for illustration partly to show what has been done in a 

 distant part of the British Empire, but also on account of the 

 close association of chemistry with mineralogy and metallurgy, 

 subjects in which Professor Liversidge who designed them has 

 always been specially interested. The need for proper accom- 

 modation had been felt for many years, but the use of tem- 

 porary arrangements had led to procrastination, and it was not 

 till 1889 that the first buildings were erected. Since that date 

 it has been necessary to add to them, to accommodate the greatly 

 increased number of students in metallurgy and assaying. 



The accompanying plan shows the general arrangement of 

 the rooms, which are contained in a building of one storey only 

 above ground, part of the metallurgical stores and other rooms 

 occupying the basement beneath the chemical lecture rooms 

 and laboratories. The slope of the ground allows this without 

 inconvenience, as may be seen by reference to the view of the 

 exterior. The buildings have no great architectural pretensions, 

 but are conveniently situated near to the physical, engineering, 

 and biological laboratories, a grouping which is convenient and 

 prevents loss of time to students in passing from one department 

 to another. 



The buildings are constructed of brick and cement, external 

 appearance being to some extent sacrificed with a view to 

 economy. 



The main chemical laboratory is a room 72 feet by 36 feet> 

 with height of 22 feet in the central part. In this room all, 

 except mere beginners (principally medical) and research
