BUILDING
Building 56 (Ronald R MacKay Building)
Building 56, the Ronald Mackay Building, was built on a former factory site for TAFE engineering departments in 1974. It houses the School of Engineering.
Ronald Mackay was principal of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology from 1952 until his death in 1963.
The planning of the building was initially for four floors, but due to the increased numbers in the TAFE sector, an additional two floors were added.
