BUILDING
Building 2 (School of Art)
Built as the School of Applied Art in 1916 for the Working Men’s College, this is another of RMIT’s historic buildings and continues its heritage as a School of Art building today.
Marking a clear break with its Gothic-style neighbours, this functional building was designed by the Public Works Department and a pointer to the future when built in 1916.
