The Beaurepaire Centre at the University of Melbourne was constructed in 1956-57 to the design of Eggleston, Macdonald & Secomb in collaboration with structural engineer Bill Irwin. It is an assured example of the so-called Post-War Melbourne Regional style (Melbourne School) which is distinguished by structural expression, radical functionalism and boldness in the use of colour and textures. The Beaurepaire Centre is included on the Victorian Heritage Register (H 1045). Comprising four main elements: Pool Hall; Trophy Hall; Gymnasium; and Lazer Wing, the building has always been an important element in the sporting activities and education programme of the University. Failing services, out-of-date technology, evolved statutory compliance standards and changing priorities for the type of physical activites that attract the fitness-conscious has resulted in a project that reinvigorates and represents the building as a 21st century sporting facility. Being cognisant of the original technical and aesthetic sophistication displayed in the design, structure and servicing of the building, this project has strived to reinterpret and enhance these fundamental gestures in the architecture, and alter, adapt and add sympathetically. The building now houses a modern pool and fitness facility with the attendant services, access and amenity that is of today while maintaining the fabric and spirit of the original.
