Ivey Hall Ground Floor Plan 1954

Ivey Hall - Ground Floor Plan. This drawing was made from a plan drawn by the M. O. W. in 1954 when Ivey Hall was renovated. The original plans have never been found. Ivey Hall-designed by three architects and built in four stages-is a "complex". The original building (erected in 1878 to house the Director, his family and 20 students) and the west wing (added in 1881 for extra student accommodation) were both designed by Frederick Strouts. The east wing (added in 1918 to enlarge the Director's quarters and provide for the Matron's area, including a students' sick bay and some service rooms) was designed by John Guthrie; and the Memorial Hall (built in 1923 as a College War Memorial) was designed by Cecil Wood. It completed the complex. Such was the care taken by the later architects that a harmonious unit resulted.
