Description of the Laboratory Buildings. 



The laboratory building, whicli is in the Colonial Dutch style of 

 architecture, is of brick, faced with cement. It is 303 ft. in length X 51 

 ft. wide and from the centre a wing runs back another 80 ft., making the 

 whole a T-shaped building. 



A second storey extends for 77 ft. over the central part, and this 

 is surmounted by a clock turret, from where a magnificient view of the 

 surrounding country is obtained. 



The building lies east and west with the main entrance on the south 

 side. A corridor runs from end to end, and beneath the floor of the 

 corridor, with branches into all the rooms, is a conduit covered with 

 removable granolithic slabs ; in this conduit run the pipes for hot and 

 cold water, steam, gas, and waste. 



The rooms on the ground floor are 13 ft. high, and the walls are dis- 

 tempered above and painted with a chocolate coloured dado below. 

 There are steel ceilings throughout the building. The floors, except in 

 the offices, are of granolithic and are finished off at the sides of the rooms 

 rising in a curve to meet the skirting so as to avoid corners that might 

 collect dust, and the laboratories have been designed throughout with a 

 view to absolute cleanliness and freedom from dust. The windows in 

 all the laboratories are 2 ft. 6 in. from the ground and on a level with the 

 slate slab tables used for microscope work, and the lower part of the 

 windows are fitted with panes of plate glass 36 in. X 2 ft. so that there 

 shall be no obstruction to the Hght on the tables. The whole building 

 has been constructed to be perfectly insect proof, wire screens being fitted 

 to all the windows and doors. 



The several laboratories are fitted on a uniform plan as far as such 

 will conform to the particular requirements of each, and hot and cold
